About the Item

Antique Mythological Scene – Montfaucon Antiquity Explained, London 1721 Description: A powerful mythological engraving from Bernard de Montfaucon’s Antiquity Explained and Represented in Sculptures, Volume I, issued in London in 1721. The densely composed scene reflects Montfaucon’s method of recording ancient sculpture through engraved interpretation, capturing the monumentality and narrative complexity of classical reliefs. This plate exemplifies the scholarly ambition of the project, which laid the foundations for modern classical archaeology and profoundly influenced 18th-century artists, architects, and collectors. The dramatic interaction of figures and the sculptural depth make this print particularly effective as a standalone wall piece. Condition: Light to moderate age toning, a visible plate mark, and a well-preserved impression showing some natural softness in the engraving lines typical of early impressions from large folio plates. Minor edge wear. This piece is sold unframed. Framing tips: Museum-style black or dark bronze frame with a wide mat. Technique: Copper engraving Maker: Bernard de Montfaucon, London, 1721 Keywords: Montfaucon engraving, Antiquity Explained London 1721, mythological scene, classical gods, Roman sculpture engraving, antiquarian print, early art history, archaeological illustration, 18th century engraving, museum style wall art, classical mythology art, Grand Tour engraving
