EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Aplustre" by the English School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into ancient Roman naval history. The focal point of this image is the aplustre itself - a wooden ornament that adorned the stern of Roman galleys. This intricate carving symbolized power and elegance, serving as both a decorative element and a status symbol for these majestic vessels. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every line etched onto this engraving. From the delicate curves to the precise patterns, each stroke brings life to this historical artifact. Through digital cleaning techniques, its original beauty has been preserved for generations to appreciate. Adeline's Art Dictionary (Virtue, 1891) serves as an invaluable resource for art enthusiasts seeking knowledge about various artistic terms and their historical significance. This particular definition sheds light on the term "aplustre" providing insight into its cultural importance within Roman society. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur of ancient naval craftsmanship. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with history and how art can preserve and celebrate our shared heritage.
