Three Images from Millin's Atlas, plate XII 1807 - 1808

This etching by Aubin-Louis Millin, titled "Three Images from Millin's Atlas, plate XII," is a detailed reproduction of a Roman sarcophagus from the early 4th century AD. The image depicts scenes from the life of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, including their journeys to Rome, their martyrdom, and their ascension to heaven. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and the depiction of biblical scenes illustrate a significant artistic and historical period within Roman art. The work, created between 1807 and 1808, is a part of a series of etchings that Millin created to document ancient Roman art and artifacts. This particular etching can be found in the Art Institute of Chicago.
