Egidius II Sadeler (around 1570 Antwerp - 1629 Prag) after Tizian: Tiziano Vecellio (around 1488 Belluno - 1576 Venice): Portrait of the Roman Emperor Marcus Salvius Otho (32 AD-69), c. 1600, Copper engraving Technique: Copper engraving on Paper Inscription: At the lower part signed in the printing plate: "AEgidius sadeler S.C.M. sculp. / Titianus inventor / Marcus sadeler excudit.". Upper middle inscribed in the printing plate: "M. SYLVIS OTHO.". At the lower part further inscription: "VIII. Ad regnum ingressus fuit hic vt apertus Othonie/Per miseram facta proditione necem: Hic idem fuit extremus regni exitus. Auli Vi sibi cum gladijs adueniente Super. / Suspector magni et quoniam fuit iste Neronis, Nomine quem voluit saepe referre Nero, Rettulit atque fuga: ac manibus tum denique mortem Persimilem sibi et hic coscijt suis.". Date: c. 1600 Description: Copperplate engraving by Sadeler, Egidius (1570 Antwerp - Prague 1629) and Sadeler, Marcus Christoph (before 1614 Munich - Prague 1660) after Titian (1477 Pieve di Cadore - Venice 1576). Marcus Salvius Otho (32-69 A.D.) was one of the four Roman emperors of the quadruple imperial year 69. The copperplate engraving is particularly striking in that his right arm is bare, but his left arm is clad in 17th century armour. It is an interesting portrait of an ancient figure, who appears to have been transported to the 17th century by the armour.
