"Domitia Longina, Wife of Domitian" is an engraving by Aegidius Sadeler, also known as Aegidius Saedeler, a renowned Flemish engraver of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The artwork is a portrait of Domitia Longina, the wife of the Roman Emperor Domitian, who reigned from 81 to 96 AD. Domitia Longina was a member of the Roman nobility, known for her beauty and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, which included a brief separation and later reconciliation.

Aegidius Sadeler was born into a family of printmakers and became one of the most prolific and respected engravers of his time. His works include portraits, religious subjects, and reproductions of paintings by other artists. Sadeler's engravings were known for their intricate detail and the skillful use of the burin, a tool used in engraving to create fine lines and shading.

The engraving of Domitia Longina is a testament to Sadeler's mastery of the medium, capturing not only the likeness but also the regal bearing of the empress. The work reflects the Mannerist style of the period, characterized by elegance and an emphasis on artifice over naturalism. Sadeler's portrait of Domitia Longina would have been part of a larger tradition of creating images of historical and contemporary figures, serving both as works of art and as a means of preserving the likenesses of important individuals for posterity.

As with many works of art from this period, the exact date of creation and the provenance of the engraving may not be fully documented, and the number of impressions made from the original plate is unknown. However, Sadeler's engravings were widely disseminated throughout Europe, contributing to his reputation and the spread of the Mannerist style.

The engraving "Domitia Longina, Wife of Domitian" by Aegidius Sadeler is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and offers insight into the representation of historical figures in art during the late Renaissance. It remains of interest to art historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of printmaking and Roman history.
