EDITORS COMMENTS
The Arch of Septimius Severus stands tall and majestic in this etching with brown wash. Created by the talented artist Agostino Tofanelli, this print transports us back to the year 1788, capturing the timeless beauty of ancient Rome. Etched by Pietro Fontana, this artwork is part of a collection called "Recueil des vues au bister dessinees et lavees par Callimachus" which showcases various views and curiosities of Rome and its surroundings. The arch itself was dedicated in 203 AD to honor Emperor Septimius Severus and his sons Caracalla and Geta for their military triumphs. The intricate details depicted in this engraving are truly remarkable. From the Corinthian columns adorned with fluted designs to the elaborate frieze showcasing scenes of victory, every element speaks volumes about Roman architecture and grandeur. In 1803, significant excavations were carried out on the Arch, revealing its original ground level. This discovery added another layer of historical significance to an already iconic structure. This particular print belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is now housed in a private collection. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate not only Tofanelli's skillful rendering but also provides a glimpse into ancient Roman history that continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.
