EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching with brown wash, titled "The Triumphal Arch of the Circus of Maxentius" takes us back in time to ancient Rome. The artist, Agostino Tofanelli, skillfully captures the grandeur and architectural brilliance of this historical landmark. The Triumphal Arch stands proudly as a testament to the glory days of Roman civilization. Its intricate details and imposing structure are beautifully depicted in this print, allowing us to appreciate its magnificence even centuries later. As we gaze at the image, our eyes are drawn not only to the arch itself but also to the surrounding landscape. On the left side, we catch a glimpse of the Tomb of Cecilia Metella, an equally impressive structure from Augustan times. Intriguingly, amidst these magnificent ruins is a cowherd tending his cattle. This unexpected presence adds a touch of everyday life against the backdrop of antiquity. Engraved by Pietro Fontana with meticulous precision and attention to detail, this artwork transports us back in time. It invites us to explore and imagine what it must have been like during those ancient Roman games that took place within these very walls. "The Triumphal Arch of the Circus of Maxentius" is not just a beautiful piece; it serves as a window into history—a reminder that even great civilizations eventually become ruins but leave behind lasting legacies for generations to come.
