EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the remarkable artwork titled "Securitas Publica, 1718/25" created by the renowned British artist Sir James Thornhill during the 18th century. The piece is currently housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to mesmerize art enthusiasts with its intricate details and profound symbolism. Thornhill's pen and ink drawing skillfully captures a scene from Roman mythology, depicting a group of men and women gathered around a majestic sailing ship. At the center stands an imposing female figure representing Securitas, the goddess of security and safety. With her shield held high above her head, she exudes an aura of protection over all those present.
