Goltzius, a painter and printer based in Bruges, produced this work to document Roman history through the study of coins and marble monuments. The composition reflects the humanist interest in classical antiquity that defined the Northern Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print features a structured architectural frame, typical of sixteenth-century book design. At the top, a central female figure, likely representing Rome or Minerva, stands between two companions. Below this, the main text block provides the title and dedication in Latin. The lower section depicts a group of figures in various states of repose or contemplation, surrounded by discarded armour and military trophies. These elements suggest the aftermath of conflict or the weight of historical record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoltzius employs a precise, linear technique to define the musculature of the figures and the texture of the stone architecture. The shading is achieved through fine cross-hatching, which creates a sense of volume and depth within the two-dimensional space. The inclusion of the SPQR acronym and the specific mention of Bruges at the bottom anchors the work in both its Roman subject matter and its Flemish production context. This print is a clear example of the scholarly approach to printmaking during the period, where the visual arts were used to disseminate historical and archaeological research to a wider audience of collectors and academics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/hercules-conquering-cacus-albrecht-durer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHercules Conquering Cacus - Albrecht Dürer — Albrecht Dürer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/saint-matthew-the-evangelist-lucas-van-leyden\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint Matthew the Evangelist - Lucas van Leyden — Lucas van Leyden\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hubert Goltzius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794479485263,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794482893135,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794482925903,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794482958671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794482991439,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794483024207,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794483056975,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794483089743,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794483122511,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794483155279,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794483188047,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794483220815,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Title-Page-for-Fasti-magistratuum-et-triumphorvum-Romanorum_Poster_CompositorV1_1789541875393.jpg?v=1789542341"},{"product_id":"frontisicii-explicatio-hubert-goltzius","title":"Frontisicii Explicatio - Hubert Goltzius","description":"\u003cp\u003eA historical letterpress page from Hubert Goltzius's 1566 work on Roman history, featuring a scholarly dialogue in Latin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page originates from the 1566 publication Fasti magistratuum et triumphorvum Romanorum, authored by the Dutch humanist and printer Hubert Goltzius. The work functions as a scholarly examination of Roman history, specifically focusing on the chronology of magistrates and triumphs. Goltzius was a significant figure in the sixteenth-century antiquarian movement, known for his rigorous approach to numismatics and classical history. He established his own printing press in Bruges, which allowed him to oversee the production of his volumes with precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text presented here, titled Frontisicii Explicatio, is structured as a dialogue between a spectator and the author. It serves to explain the allegorical frontispiece of the book, detailing the symbolic representation of Rome. The Latin verses describe the personification of the city, the presence of Romulus and Remus, and the spoils of war. The typography reflects the standard humanist style of the period, utilising clear, legible Roman typefaces that were favoured by scholars for their classical associations. The layout is clean, with generous margins and a balanced distribution of text, typical of the high-quality printing standards maintained by the Goltzius press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors of historical documents, this print offers a glimpse into the intellectual rigour of the Renaissance. It represents the intersection of classical scholarship and the burgeoning print culture of the Low Countries. The page is not merely a piece of text but a record of the methods used to disseminate historical knowledge during the sixteenth century. Its preservation provides insight into the editorial choices and aesthetic preferences of a period that sought to revive the glory of the ancient world through the medium of the printed book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/the-triumph-of-julius-caesar-soldiers-carrying-vases-and-trophies-of-war-andrea-andreani\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Triumph of Julius Caesar: Soldiers Carrying Vases and Trophies of War - Andrea Andreani — Andrea Andreani\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/view-of-the-vaults-benozzo-gozzoli\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eView of the Vaults - Benozzo Gozzoli — Benozzo Gozzoli\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hubert Goltzius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58973680238927,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58973690233167,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58973690265935,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58973690298703,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58973690331471,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58973690364239,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58973690397007,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58973690429775,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58973690462543,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58973690495311,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58973690528079,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58973690560847,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Frontisicii-Explicatio_Poster_CompositorV1_1790856598302.jpg?v=1790857097"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/fr\/collections\/hubert-goltzius.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
