EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Arch of Septimius Severus, a magnificent architectural feature that stands as a testament to ancient Roman history. Captured by Giovanni Battista Piranesi in approximately 1756, this image transports us back to the grandeur of the 3rd century. The archway dominates the background, its intricate details and imposing structure drawing our attention. The etching technique used by Piranesi adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its artistic appeal. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of the rich heritage and antiquities that Rome has preserved throughout centuries. In this panoramic view, we see people scattered around the ruins of what was once an integral part of Roman society - the Forum. The Arch of Septimius Severus serves as a focal point amidst these remnants, symbolizing Emperor Septimius Severus' triumphs and achievements during his reign. Piranesi's masterful composition captures both the majesty of ancient Rome and its enduring legacy. This print is not just a photograph; it is an invitation to explore history through art. Whether displayed in a museum or cherished within one's personal collection, this evocative image allows us to connect with Italy's past while appreciating Piranesi's skill as an artist.
