EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Opilius Macrinus, a prominent figure from ancient Rome who lived between 165 and 218 AD. The image is taken from the book "Imperatorum romanorum omnium orientalium et occidentalium verissimae imagines ex antiquis numismatis. . . Addita cuiusque vitae descriptione ex thesauro Iacobi Stradae. . . " published in Zurich by Andreas Gesner in 1559. This particular woodcut was created by Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch, a renowned artist of the 16th century. Opilius Macrinus' striking presence is beautifully captured in this historical illustration, which belongs to a private collection known as the Historica Graphica Collection. The intricate details of his attire and facial features are brought to life through the skillful artistry of Deutsch's woodcut technique. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era filled with power struggles and political intrigue. Opilius Macrinus played a significant role during this tumultuous period in Roman history, leaving behind an enduring legacy that continues to fascinate scholars and history enthusiasts alike. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch and the rich cultural heritage preserved within private collections worldwide.
