EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing view of the Temple of Fortuna Virilis, now known as the Armenian church of S. Maria Egizziaca. Created by Giovanni Battista Piranesi in 1760-78, this etching measures 37.8x58.7 cm and is housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. Piranesi's masterful depiction showcases his deep appreciation for classical architecture and buildings. The grandeur and intricate details of the temple are beautifully captured, transporting viewers to ancient Rome where religion played a significant role in society. The transformation from a Roman temple to an Armenian church adds another layer of historical significance to this artwork. It symbolizes the passage of time and cultural evolution that has taken place over centuries. The inclusion of Santa Maria Egizziaca highlights its religious importance within Italian history and its connection to both Christian and pagan traditions. This fusion creates a unique blend that speaks volumes about Italy's rich heritage. As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but marvel at Piranesi's skill in capturing not just architectural beauty but also conveying a sense of reverence towards these sacred spaces. It serves as a reminder that even though civilizations may change, their spiritual essence endures through time. This photograph is part of The Alfred and Juanita Bromberg Collection at the Dallas Museum of Art, generously bequeathed by Juanita K. Bromberg herself. Its presence within this esteemed collection further solidifies its status
