EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century graphite drawing by Josephus Augustus Knip, titled 'The Aqua Claudia in Rome,' transports us back in time to ancient Rome. The Aqua Claudia aqueduct, constructed in the 1st century AD, is depicted here where it crosses an old city gate, not far from the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. The aqueduct, a marvel of ancient engineering, supplied drinking water to large parts of the city. Knip's meticulous drawing showcases the aqueduct's intricate design, with its arches and water channels, as it blends seamlessly with the rugged Roman landscape. The muted color palette of the drawing adds to its authenticity, evoking the dusty, timeworn atmosphere of the ancient city. This artwork, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Rome and Italy, is a must-see for art and history enthusiasts alike. Originally from the Netherlands, Knip's drawing is now housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a fitting home for this beautiful and historically significant work.
