EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Porto di Ripetta, a historic port in Rome that no longer exists but lives on through engraved views and early photographs. The oil painting, created by an anonymous Italian artist from the 17th century, showcases the bustling daily life scene at this vibrant harbor. The composition beautifully portrays the architectural brilliance of Alessandro Specchi, who designed and built this neoclassical port in 1704. The low walls with sweeping scenographic curves gracefully descend from the street to meet the flowing waters of River Tiber. In front of San Girolamo degli Schiavoni church, boats and rafts peacefully rest along the steps leading to their aquatic journeys. The image transports us back in time as we witness tugboats navigating through these historical waters, transporting goods and people alike. It is a testament to how vital this port was for trade and transportation during its heyday. Vincenzo Pirozzi's skillful capture brings out every intricate detail of this remarkable painting. From the architecture to daily life scenes unfolding before our eyes, it serves as a window into Rome's rich history. As we admire this piece, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in preserving memories of a place lost to time – Porto di Ripetta remains forever etched within these strokes on canvas.
