EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases "Aqua acetosa extra urbem penes Portam Populi" by Giovanni Battista Falda and Johann Franck. Created around 1685, this etching beautifully captures the essence of Rome's iconic fountains. The image transports us to a time when these magnificent water sources were not only functional but also served as exquisite works of art. The title itself, with its mix of Latin and German, hints at the international allure of Rome during that era. In this artwork, we witness the splendor of Roman life as it unfolds around these fountains. From public squares to palaces and even private gardens like Frescada Tiuoli, these fountains were an integral part of daily life in Rome. The etching skillfully portrays their grandeur while offering glimpses into the surrounding landscapes through various perspectives. As we explore this print further, we are reminded that history is not just about monumental events or famous figures; it is also about capturing everyday moments that reveal a society's values and customs. Through Falda and Franck's meticulous craftsmanship, we can almost hear the soothing sound of flowing water and imagine ourselves strolling along those ancient streets. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing nature's beauty for both practical purposes and aesthetic pleasure. It invites us to appreciate how something as simple as a fountain can become an enduring symbol of culture and civilization throughout centuries.
