EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a collection of Ancient Roman vases, each possessing its own unique charm and historical significance. The print, created in 1802 by Lorenzo Roccheggiani and engraved by Pietro Ruga, takes us on a journey through time to explore the exquisite craftsmanship of these ancient artifacts. The first vase depicted is a large vessel adorned with satyr heads, once owned by the renowned artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Its intricate details and mythical motifs transport us back to an era steeped in legend and mythology. Next, we are introduced to an ancient vase featuring rams' heads discovered in the Villa Casali outside Porta San Sebastiano. This remarkable find not only serves as a testament to the ingenuity of Roman artisans but also offers insight into their fascination with animal symbolism. Lastly, we encounter another magnificent vase from Casa Barberini. Its ornate design exemplifies the opulence that characterized Roman decorative arts during this period. Through this engraving, Roccheggiani invites us to appreciate the beauty of these ancient treasures while simultaneously providing glimpses into Roman culture and history. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with antiquity and how art can bridge gaps between different eras. As we gaze upon this stunning composition captured in delicate lines on paper, we are reminded that even centuries later, these vases continue to captivate our imagination and inspire awe for the artistic achievements of Ancient Rome.
