The Death of Germanicus, from the Spectacle de l'Histoire Romaine 1760 - 1768

Gabriel de Saint-Aubin's "The Death of Germanicus" (1760–68), a detailed etching, depicts the Roman general's final moments. The scene is set in a grand chamber with a view of a procession through an archway, hinting at the power and influence Germanicus held. The central focus is on the dying general, surrounded by mourners, with the figure of Agrippina, his wife, at the forefront, kneeling in grief. This print was part of a larger series, the *Spectacle de l'Histoire Romaine*, highlighting key moments in Roman history through Saint-Aubin's dramatic style.
