EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the remains of a covered portico in a cryptoporticus villa. The image, captured by Giovanni Battista Piranesi in 1766, takes us back to ancient Rome, specifically five miles outside the city on the Frascati Road. Piranesi's etching beautifully captures the intricate details and grandeur of this archaeological site. The second state of this print reveals his mastery in depicting architectural elements with precision and depth. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a time when Domitian ruled over Rome. The sheet measures an impressive 20 11/16 x 28 15/16 inches (525 x 735 cm), allowing us to appreciate every minute detail that Piranesi has meticulously etched onto it. His expertise as an Italian artist shines through as he brings these historical ruins to life. It is fascinating how prints like these were part of a larger series called "Vedute di Roma" or "Roman Views" which aimed to document and preserve Rome's architectural heritage during that period. This particular piece serves as a testament to Piranesi's dedication in capturing the essence of ancient Roman civilization. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let us marvel at its ability to transport us through time and space, connecting us with our rich cultural past.
