EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring view of the upper storey of the Cages for Wild Animals, a remarkable architectural marvel built by Emperor Domitian. Associated with the Flavian Amphitheater and commonly known as the Curia Hostilia, this structure is beautifully depicted in an etching created by Giovanni Battista Piranesi between 1760 and 1778. Measuring at 38.1x59.4 cm, this artwork can be found at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA, as part of The Alfred and Juanita Bromberg Collection's bequest from Juanita K. Bromberg to Foundation for the Arts. This Italian masterpiece showcases intricate details that highlight both its ancient origins and classical influences. The image portrays figures within its arches, adding a sense of life to these historical ruins. The cages themselves stand as a testament to Roman ingenuity in designing structures dedicated to housing wild animals for public spectacles. Piranesi's artistry skillfully captures every nuance of this architectural wonder while emphasizing its grandeur against a backdrop of other buildings in Rome. As you gaze upon this print, you are transported back in time to witness firsthand how Domitian's vision transformed into reality. Whether you appreciate ancient history or admire classical architecture, this print offers a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through artistic mastery.
