Numa Pompilius wordt als koning van Rome aangewezen c. 1636 - 1670

"Numa Pompilius wordt als koning van Rome aangewezen" (Numa Pompilius is designated as King of Rome) is an etching by Petrus Clouwet, a Dutch artist who lived from 1629 to 1670. Created between 1636 and 1670, this print depicts the moment when Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, is chosen to rule. The image showcases a group of men gathered around a central figure, with a crown being presented. The detailed composition and the use of light and shadow create a sense of drama and historical weight. This etching is a fine example of Clouwet’s skill in capturing historical events with both accuracy and artistic flair.
