EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of August, represented as a nude man, is a stunning portrayal from the 18th century. Created by Dom Bernard de Montfaucon, a French Benedictine monk and pioneer in the fields of palaeography and archaeology, this illustration showcases his astute scholarship and artistic talent.
In this image, August is depicted in all his masculine glory, embodying the essence of the month with confidence and grace. The intricate details and expert craftsmanship make this piece a true work of art that captures the spirit of ancient times.
As one of the founders of modern archaeology, Montfaucon's influence can be seen in every brushstroke and line of this masterpiece. His dedication to preserving history through visual representation shines through in this striking depiction.
The nudity of the figure adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition, inviting viewers to contemplate the human form in its most natural state. This print serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across centuries and cultures.
Overall, this print is not just a beautiful piece for aesthetic appreciation but also a testament to Montfaucon's legacy as a scholar and artist who paved the way for future generations to explore history through art.
