About the Item
These set of original antique engravings are from Bernard de Montfaucon's "L'Antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures" (Antiquity Explained and Represented in Figures), which is a comprehensive collection of engravings illustrating various aspects of ancient life. This work was a significant contribution to the study of antiquity in the early 18th century. The specific volume these images are taken from likely deals with artifacts such as lamps, which were common in burial practices and other rituals of ancient cultures.
This collage showcases three pages from Bernard de Montfaucon's seminal work "L'Antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures." Each page features detailed engravings of ancient lamps, each with their own unique design and iconography. These artifacts are adorned with various scenes from mythology and daily life, reflecting the rich tapestry of classical civilization.
In the engravings, one can discern scenes of mythological significance, such as figures interacting with animals that may symbolize certain virtues or vices, and other scenes that depict social and possibly religious ceremonies. The craftsmanship of the lamps suggests they were items of significance, used either in a domestic setting or in ritualistic practices.
Montfaucon's work is a meticulous effort to document and explain the artifacts of antiquity, and these lamp illustrations are a testament to the depth and detail of his scholarship. Each lamp serves as a historical document, providing insights into the artistic and functional aspects of everyday objects from the past. The engravings themselves are executed with precision, capturing the essence of the era and its artistic sensibilities.
Together, these pages form a collage that is not only of historical interest but also of artistic merit, presenting a curated glimpse into the past where art and functionality were intimately intertwined.
