EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate engraving, created by Tommaso Piroli in 1789, showcases a stunning ancient Roman portal excavated in Resina, a site now known as Herculaneum. The portal is adorned with intricately carved columns, each featuring candelabra-like designs. The walls or plutei surrounding the columns are chest-high, adding to the grandeur of the structure. Cornices, or decorative moldings, gracefully crown the top of the portal, while a portico, or covered porch, extends outwards. The tympanum or shield at the center of the portal is decorated with a garland, suggesting that this may have been the entrance to a temple. The intricate details of the engraving provide a glimpse into the rich history and classical artistry of the ancient Roman civilization. This piece is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the Romans, and offers a fascinating glimpse into their culture and architectural achievements. Tommaso Piroli's engraving, titled "Antichita di Ercolano" or "Antiquities of Herculaneum," is a valuable historical document that has preserved the beauty and intricacy of this ancient portal for future generations. The engraving offers a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the art and architecture of the Roman Empire in all its glory.
