The Roman Widow and the Emperor Trajan
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating vintage print that transports us back to the 19th century, where Gustave Doré's artistic genius brings history to life. This enchanting engraving, created in 1870, showcases the remarkable illustrative technique of Doré, a renowned French artist of his time. In this romantic scene, we witness an emotional encounter between a grieving widow and the powerful Emperor Trajan. The vivid colors and intricate details beautifully capture the essence of Victorian-era artistry. The retro styling adds an extra layer of charm to this historical masterpiece. Doré's inspiration for this artwork stems from Dante Alighieri's "Purgatorio" depicting a moment when Trajan interrupts his journey through purgatory to address the pleas of a sorrowful widow seeking justice for her deceased husband. Through his skilled hand, Doré skillfully depicts both empathy and authority on the emperor's face while conveying deep anguish on the widow's countenance. This nineteenth-century engraving not only showcases Doré’s exceptional talent but also serves as a cultural artifact that reflects historic art trends during its time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported into an era where art was used as a medium to tell stories and evoke emotions
