EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Seller of Statuettes of Lares, Ancient Roman Guardian Deities" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of ancient Rome. Created by Jean Louis Hamon in the 19th century, this print captures a vivid scene from daily life during Julius Caesar's era. Intriguingly, we witness a merchant surrounded by an array of exquisite figures and statues representing the revered Lares - guardian deities believed to protect households and families. The seller's stall is filled with these sacred objects, enticing customers who are drawn to their protective powers and religious significance. The image offers a glimpse into the vibrant trade that thrived in ancient Rome. Women can be seen engaging with the vendor, carefully selecting statuettes as they partake in this age-old tradition rooted in superstition and faith. The atmosphere is alive with excitement as buyers negotiate prices and make their purchases. Through this artwork, we are transported back to an imperial empire where commerce intertwined seamlessly with religion. It serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained spirituality was within Roman society and sheds light on their beliefs surrounding divine protection. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' digital restoration work, we can appreciate every intricate detail captured by Hamon over a century ago. This enchanting print invites us to explore history through art while marveling at the timeless allure of ancient Rome's cultural practices.
