Buste van keizer Caracalla 1646 - 1670

This 17th-century engraving by Flemish artist Hubert Quellinus depicts a bust of Roman Emperor Caracalla. Created between 1646 and 1670, it showcases the meticulous detail and realism of Quellinus's work. The bust, likely based on a classical Roman sculpture, captures the emperor's stern expression and distinctive features. The engraving is a fine example of the revival of classical art during the Baroque era. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this artwork offers a glimpse into the historical fascination with Roman emperors and their legacy.
