EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century chalk drawing by Louis Ducros, titled "View of Ariano and monument, known as Altar of Janus," transports us back in time to the picturesque Italian town of Ariano in the Avellino province of Campania. The composition showcases the stunning panoramic view of the town nestled in the valley, with the distant blue mountains providing a serene backdrop. The focal point of the drawing is the monument, known as the Altar of Janus, which stands proudly at the center, its grandeur enhanced by the meticulous detailing of the architectural elements. The drawing is further enlivened by the presence of background figures, adding a sense of scale and depth to the scene. Louis Ducros, a Swiss artist of the Romantic era, masterfully employs the use of chalk on paper to create a vibrant and colorful image, capturing the essence of the Italian landscape with its rolling hills, winding roads, and quaint buildings. The drawing is reminiscent of the romantic concept of the picturesque, where the beauty of nature is heightened by the human touch. The drawing is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe and the enduring appeal of the Italian landscape. This beautiful artwork is now part of the esteemed collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a museum dedicated to preserving and showcasing the world's artistic and cultural heritage. The drawing's letterbox format and panoramic view provide an immersive experience, inviting us to explore the scenic beauty of Ariano and the Altar of Janus as if we were there in person.
