EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching showcases the enchanting ruins of Tingis, an ancient Roman and Phoenician city located in Morocco. Dating back to the 19th century, this etching is a testament to the rich history and archaeological significance of this North African country. The image, housed in the prestigious Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia) in Barcelona, Spain, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and cultural exchange. The ruins of Tingis, also known as Tangier, have long been a subject of fascination for archaeologists and historians. The city's strategic location on the Mediterranean Sea made it a valuable trading hub, with influences from Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, and Berbers. The etching reveals the remnants of the city's impressive architectural heritage, including the remains of columns, arches, and intricate mosaics. The etching's intricate details bring the ruins to life, revealing the whitewashed walls, crumbling pillars, and overgrown foliage that characterize this archaeological site. The artist's skillful use of line and shade creates a sense of depth and texture, inviting us to explore the ruins further. This etching is a valuable addition to any collection of historical or archaeological art, offering a unique perspective on the ancient world and the cultural connections between Africa, Europe, and the Mediterranean. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history that lies hidden beneath the sands of Morocco, waiting to be discovered and celebrated.
