EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Vue du Campo Vacine et Colisée a Rome" (View of Campo Vacino and the Coliseum in Rome), was created by the skilled artist Israel Silvestre between the years 1640 and 1660. The image transports us back in time to ancient Rome during the Baroque era. The focus of the composition is the iconic Colosseum, or Coliseum, with its impressive archways and towering walls. The Flavian Amphitheatre, as it was originally named, stands majestically against the backdrop of the Roman Forum and the surrounding cityscape. Israel Silvestre masterfully captures the grandeur of this historic site, using intricate lines and delicate shading to bring the scene to life. The etching is executed on laid paper, giving it a textured and authentic feel. The monochrome palette, with its stark contrasts of black and white, adds to the timeless quality of the artwork. Campo Vacino, or the Vaccine Field, is visible in the foreground, with its winding roads and playhouses. The entrance to the Colosseum is shown in the center, inviting the viewer to imagine the bustling activity that once took place within its walls. The image also reveals the gate and walls of the Roman Forum, adding to the rich historical context of the scene. Israel Silvestre, also known as Israël Silvestre or Israël Silvestre the Younger, was a French artist who is known for his detailed etchings of ancient ruins and landscapes. This particular work is a testament to his talent and his ability to capture the essence of a bygone era. Today, it is housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
