EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Interior of the Arch of Janus" in all its grandeur. Created in 1833 by Agostino Tofanelli, this etching with brown wash brings to life the ancient architecture and rich history of Rome. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship are evident in every stroke. The Arch of Janus, also known as Arc de Janus, is a remarkable structure built in the early fourth century using spolia - recycled materials from earlier buildings. Originally serving as shelter for cattle-dealers, it has stood the test of time and remains an iconic symbol of antiquity. In this image, captured by Pietro Fontana through his masterful engraving technique, we are transported back to a bygone era. The arch's interior reveals a glimpse into Roman life with its towering columns and majestic surroundings. Beyond lies the church of San Giorgio in Velabro, which adds another layer of historical significance to this scene. As we admire this piece from the Stapleton Collection, we can't help but marvel at how art has preserved these remnants of our past. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these architectural wonders continue to inspire awe and fascination among viewers worldwide.
