Calpurnius 1586 - 1596

"Calpurnius" is an etching from the 16th century by an anonymous artist. The print is a portrait of a Roman soldier, likely Calpurnius Piso, with a helmet, feathered plume, and shield. The soldier stands proudly on a rocky hill, his stance and expression conveying bravery and strength. The artist's use of hatching creates subtle tonal variations, adding depth and dimension to the figure. This artwork is an excellent example of Renaissance art, showcasing the style's focus on human anatomy and realism. The print is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
