EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli standing proudly on the ruins of the ancient Capitoline Temple of Jupiter. Created by Italian artist Agostino Tofanelli in 1833, this etching with brown wash showcases the intricate details and architectural beauty of this historic site. The image depicts a scene filled with reverence and tranquility. A figure can be seen kneeling in prayer at the foot of a grand staircase leading up to the church's entrance. The steps themselves are adorned with statues and guarded by a majestic lion sculpture, adding to the sense of awe and majesty. In the foreground, a cart is parked as someone attends to their laundry, creating an interesting contrast between everyday life and spiritual devotion. The approach to the church is lined with horses, emphasizing its historical significance as well as its connection to nature. The Church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli dates back before the 7th century and occupies what was once a Roman citadel. Rebuilt in Romanesque style by Franciscans in 1250, it has become an iconic symbol of Rome's rich history. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with ancient architecture and our desire for spiritual connection amidst bustling city life.
