The Acqua Marcia, 1833
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching with brown wash that transports viewers to ancient Rome. This exquisite print, created by Agostino Tofanelli and engraved by Pietro Fontana, captures the grandeur of the iconic Aqueduct of the Aqua Marcia. The aqueduct, also known as Aqueduc de l'eau Marzia in French, stands tall against a picturesque backdrop. Its majestic arches and intricate engineering marvelously showcase the ingenuity of Roman architecture. The artist's attention to detail brings out every nuance of this historical monument. This particular print belongs to a private collection and is part of an extensive series called "Recueil des vues au bister dessinees et lavees par Callimachus". It offers glimpses into antiquities and curiosities from Rome and its surroundings during Pope Pius VII's papacy. Built between 144-140 BC by Quintus Marcius Rex, a praetor at that time, the Acqua Marcia has stood for centuries as a testament to Roman engineering prowess. Count Barnaba Niccolo Maria Luigi Chiaramonti oversaw its restoration during Pope Pius VII's reign (1800-23). This remarkable etching not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into ancient Roman history. It invites us to appreciate the architectural wonders left behind by our ancestors while reminding us of their enduring legacy.
