EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching with brown wash, titled "View of the Cloaca Maxima, 1833" transports us back to ancient Rome. The artist behind this masterpiece is Agostino Tofanelli (1770-1834), and it is currently held in a private collection. The print showcases the awe-inspiring engineering marvel that is the Cloaca Maxima, also known as the Great Sewer. Engraved by Pietro Fontana (1762-1837), this artwork was part of a series called "Recueil des vues au bister dessinees et lavees par Callimachus". It depicts an archway leading into the entrance of this monumental sewerage system. Originally a natural watercourse flowing into the Tiber River, the Cloaca Maxima was transformed into an arched canal during Tarquinius the Elder's reign and further developed by Servius Tullius around 200 BC. This image captures both its architectural grandeur and historical significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Rome's ingenuity in civil engineering even centuries ago. The intricate details in every line showcase not only Tofanelli's skill but also his admiration for Roman architecture. This artwork serves as a testament to human innovation and our ability to create enduring structures that stand against time. With its rich history and remarkable craftsmanship, "View of the Cloaca Maxima" invites us to appreciate both ancient Roman culture and artistic excellence.
