EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Veduta interna dell Atrio del Portico di Ottavia" takes us on a journey through time to ancient Rome. Captured by the talented artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi in the 18th century, this etching showcases the internal view of the atrium of the Portico of Octavia. The image transports us to a world where architectural wonders stood tall and proud. The arches and archways create an intricate network that leads our eyes deeper into the frame. In contrast to these magnificent structures, we see background people going about their daily lives, adding a sense of scale and humanity to this ancient scene. As we explore further, we notice how nature has taken its course over time. The remains of this once grand portico are now partially overgrown with vegetation, reminding us of both the beauty and impermanence of human creations. Piranesi's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to every corner of this composition. It is as if he invites us to step into his artwork and experience firsthand what life was like in ancient Rome. Displayed proudly in museums around the world, including The Met, this piece from Piranesi's renowned series "Vedute di Roma" serves as a testament to his artistic skill and passion for capturing history's most iconic landmarks.
