EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal essence of Ptolemee, a powerful monarch from the 17th century. Created by Gilles Rousselet and Abraham Bosse, this engraving showcases the baroque era's intricate details and artistic finesse. Ptolemee stands tall in his royal attire, wearing a majestic crown that symbolizes his authority over his country. The etching beautifully portrays every line on his face, revealing wisdom and strength earned through years of ruling. Piercing eyes gaze confidently into the distance as Ptolemee holds a sceptre firmly in hand, signifying his command over war and warfare. This portrait exemplifies the grandeur associated with kingship during this period. The collaboration between Rousselet and Bosse brings out the historical significance of King Ptolemy I Soter (also known as Ptolemy Lagus), who ruled Egypt during ancient times. The attention to detail in this artwork transports viewers back to an era where monarchy reigned supreme. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece is part of Pierre Mariette's collection—a testament to its cultural value. As you admire this image, let it serve as a reminder of our rich heritage and the enduring legacy left behind by great leaders like King Ptolemy I Soter.
