19th Century Hand Coloured Etching after 'Ancient Rome'

About the Item

After William Turner's painting 'Ancient Rome; Agrippina Landing with the Ashes of Germanicus' from 1839, etched by Arthur Willmore. This scene with the moon visible dung the day is an omen for the future of ancient Rome. Agrippina returning home upon her husband's death marking the beginning of a tyrannical period where her son and grandson, Caligula and Nero, both eventually come into power. Turner (born 1775, died 1851) made a name for himself in 19th Century England as a master of the Romantic movement, with his iconic landscapes and marine paintings. Detailed structures pair with dramatic skies and seas to give his works the dramatic flair he was known for. Arthur Willmore (born 1814, died 1888) was a master printmaker from Birmingham who's work can be seen in many major institutions across the world including the MET and the Tate. More information on the original painting can be found on the Tate's website or in the Frick Collection's writeup of the 2017 exhibition 'Turner's Modern and Ancient Ports'
