EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 28 BC, when Augustus, the revered Roman emperor, established the center of government of Gaul in Lyon. The artist Bertrand skillfully captures this historic moment with intricate detail and a monochrome palette. In the foreground, we see Augustus himself standing on a grand set of steps, surrounded by his loyal subjects. He is depicted as a regal figure, dressed in royal robes and holding a standard adorned with an eagle - symbolizing power and authority. With one hand raised high, he proclaims his proclamation to the people gathered below. The scene is filled with anticipation as men from all walks of life listen intently to their emperor's words. Flags wave proudly in the breeze while birds soar overhead, adding an element of freedom and hope to this significant event. The buildings behind Augustus represent both ancient Rome and Gaulish architecture, blending together seamlessly as a testament to their union under his rule. Lyon's location along the Rhone River serves as an ideal setting for this pivotal moment in history. This print not only showcases Bertrand's artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into France's rich past. It reminds us of Emperor Augustus' influence on Gaulish society and how his administration shaped Lyon into an important center for governance during that era.
