EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, part of the Views of Rome series by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the ancient city. The print showcases the majestic Porta Maggiore, an impressive gate in the Aurelian Walls of Rome. With intricate details and masterful technique, Piranesi brings to life this architectural marvel that once served as an archway for both the Acqua Claudia and Anio Novus aqueducts. The composition transports us back to c. 1760 when this etching was created, allowing us to witness the grandeur of Roman architecture in its prime. The Porta Maggiore stands tall and proud amidst a backdrop of ruins, reminding us of Rome's rich history and enduring legacy. As we explore every line and curve meticulously etched by Piranesi's hand, we are drawn into a world where ancient meets modernity. This view captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes a sense of awe at human ingenuity throughout time. Displayed against a neutral background within this private collection, this print serves as a testament to Piranesi's artistic prowess and his ability to capture both grandeur and subtlety in his work. It is through prints like these that we can continue to appreciate and celebrate Rome's timeless allure.
