EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Baths of Diocletian, 1743" an engraving by the renowned Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi. The artwork is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the opulent world of ancient Rome. Piranesi's engraving, originally published in Rome in 1743 as part of his work "Opere varie di architettura prospettive grotteschi antichita" presents imaginary reconstructions inspired by classical Roman themes. In this particular piece, he skillfully captures the grandeur and architectural splendor of the Baths of Diocletian. The image transports us to a time long past, where we witness the ruins of these once magnificent baths.

This engraving serves as a reminder that even great empires can fall into ruin over time but still leave behind remnants that inspire wonderment centuries later. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within decay but also our own transient existence amidst the grand tapestry woven by human
