About the Item

Grand Roman Relief Engravings after Antique Sculpture – Montfaucon 1721 This refined pair of early 18th-century Roman relief engravings offers a balanced combination of classical subject matter, architectural scale, and decorative versatility. The engravings were published in 1721 as part of Bernard de Montfaucon’s influential work *Antiquity Explained and Represented in Sculptures*, printed in London for the English edition of this landmark antiquarian publication. The set consists of two substantial matting boards, each presenting an engraving on both sides, resulting in four Roman relief scenes in total. The circular compositions are derived from ancient Roman sculptural reliefs and read like carved marble medallions, with harmoniously arranged figures rendered in a restrained, sculptural line. The softly printed tonal quality is characteristic of early 18th-century copper engraving and lends the images depth and warmth rather than graphic sharpness. The double-sided presentation makes this pair especially appealing for interior designers and collectors. Each mat can be framed front-to-back or rotated over time, allowing the set to adapt easily to different spaces and display concepts. Used as a symmetrical pair, the works bring rhythm and architectural balance to a wall; displayed individually, they function as calm classical focal points. Timeless, versatile, and quietly authoritative, this set bridges scholarly Roman antiquity and contemporary interior design. It is equally suited to refined residential interiors, libraries, gallery walls, or hospitality settings where classical imagery is desired without visual heaviness. Technique: Copper engraving Maker: Bernard de Montfaucon Source: Antiquity Explained and Represented in Sculptures, English edition, London, 1721
