EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print from 1559 showcases the likeness of Aulus Vitellius, a prominent figure in ancient Rome. Created by Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch, a renowned artist of the 16th century, this illustration is part of the Historica Graphica Collection and currently resides in a private collection. Aulus Vitellius was an influential Roman emperor who reigned during the tumultuous year of 69 AD. His image has been faithfully reproduced here from authentic ancient coins, providing us with a true representation of his appearance. The intricate details captured in this woodcut highlight Deutsch's exceptional skill as an artist. The historical significance of Aulus Vitellius cannot be overstated. His brief but eventful reign witnessed political turmoil and military conflicts that ultimately led to his downfall. This print serves as a visual reminder of the power struggles and complex dynamics that characterized ancient Rome. Preserved for centuries, this rare piece offers viewers a glimpse into both artistry and history. Its inclusion in Heritage Images' vast collection underscores its importance as an invaluable cultural artifact. While its commercial use may be restricted, it continues to inspire curiosity and admiration among those fortunate enough to encounter it today.
