9037 Bernard de Montfaucon (1655–1741) – Urnes Sepulcrales (Sepulchral Urns) – Engraving (1724)
This print contains two illustrations of Roman funerary monuments or sepulchral urns. The upper monument is a rectangular altar decorated with floral and allegorical reliefs, framing an inscription. The lower illustration shows a tablet-style urn featuring a standing nude male figure holding a staff and flanked by trees and symbolic animals, with an inscription below. This detailed engraving was created for Bernard de Montfaucon’s comprehensive documentation of classical artifacts, "L'Antiquité expliquée et representée en figures."
Bernard de Montfaucon was an influential French Benedictine scholar, philologist, and pioneer in the fields of archaeology and paleography. His lasting contribution is the ten-volume illustrated encyclopedia, "L'Antiquité expliquée," which systematically documented the artifacts, monuments, and daily life of classical antiquity, serving as a foundational reference work for eighteenth-century classical studies.
