EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in architectural history. Titled "Laying foundations, from Della Architettura" this engraving was published in 1590 by Giovanni Antonio Rusconi. The image showcases the meticulous process of laying foundations for classical temples, employing techniques likely inspired by Roman architecture. The scene depicts a group of dedicated workers diligently engaged in their craft. Their expertise is evident as they utilize various tools and pulleys to ensure precision and stability during construction. This painstaking preparation has been underway since approximately 1533, highlighting the immense effort invested in creating enduring structures. Although originally intended for a new edition of Vitruvius that never materialized, this engraving remains an invaluable testament to Renaissance architecture. It offers viewers a glimpse into the methods employed by builders during this era and sheds light on the intricate processes involved in constructing grand temples. Part of The Stapleton Collection, this artwork now resides within a private collection but continues to inspire awe and admiration among art enthusiasts worldwide. Its historical significance cannot be overstated, serving as a reminder of the timeless beauty and ingenuity found within ancient architectural practices.
