EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching with brown wash takes us back to the year 1833, immersing us in the mysterious depths of the Basement of the Temple of Fortune and Rest. The artist, Agostino Tofanelli, skillfully captures the essence of this underground sanctuary through intricate details and shading techniques. The image showcases a vaulted architecture that exudes an air of antiquity. As we gaze upon it, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for the ruins that have stood the test of time. The male figure depicted in the print seems to be lost in contemplation as he explores this hidden world beneath Rome. Engraved by Pietro Fontana, this artwork is part of a collection called "Recueil des vues au bister dessinees et lavees par Callimachus" which translates to "Collection of views drawn and washed by Callimachus". It offers glimpses into various antiquities and curiosities found in Rome and its surroundings during Pope Pius VII's papacy. Now preserved in a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this Italian masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Although created centuries ago, it still resonates with those who appreciate artistry combined with historical significance. As we admire this engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder database, let us take a moment to reflect on our own connection to history and how these ancient ruins continue to inspire wonder
