EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases ancient friezes from the Orti Manzi and Orti Colonnesi, dating back to 1802. The engravings, created by Lorenzo Roccheggiani, offer a glimpse into the rich history of Italy's ancient civilizations. The first frieze depicts a powerful lion intertwined with delicate vine foliage, originating from the Orti Manzi in Montecelio. Its intricate details and masterful carving highlight the skill and craftsmanship of its creators. The second frieze features a winged figure believed to have come from the Temple of Nero at the Orti Colonnesi. This mysterious figure exudes an aura of mystique and elegance, leaving viewers intrigued about its origins and significance within Roman culture. Pietro Ruga expertly engraved these remarkable scenes onto copperplates based on illustrations by Roccheggiani himself. Their collaboration resulted in a series titled "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans" which was published in Rome in 1802. Displayed against a black-and-white backdrop, these ancient friezes take on new life as decorative elements for interior design enthusiasts or those fascinated by antiquity. The ornate carvings add an air of sophistication to any space they grace. Preserved within private collections today, these prints serve as reminders of Italy's rich cultural heritage while also showcasing the talent and creativity that flourished during this period.
