EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Forum of Nerva" by Charles Louis Clerisseau. Created using gouache on paper, this masterpiece measures 61.5x50 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Sir John Soanes Museum in London. The painting depicts the architectural ruins of the Forum of Nerva, an ancient Roman forum built by Emperor Domitian and inaugurated by Nerva in 97 AD. The decorative motifs showcased in this artwork are heavily influenced by Greek aesthetics, adding a touch of classical elegance to the composition. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous discovery or excavation at these archaeological ruins. The Corinthian columns stand tall amidst the crumbling structures, serving as a testament to Rome's grandeur and imperial power. A prominent frieze featuring Minerva can be seen adorning one section of the ruins, further emphasizing its historical significance. This painting not only captures the essence of ancient Rome but also serves as a window into the world of art during Clerisseau's time. With elements such as transitorius architecture and references to Grand Tour experiences prevalent throughout this piece, it offers viewers a glimpse into both Roman history and artistic trends from that era. A true gem for art enthusiasts and historians alike!
