EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Trajan's Column, an engraving by Giovanni Battista Piranesi. The column, built in 113 AD by Apollodoro to commemorate Emperor Trajan's triumphs in Dacia, stands tall and proud in Rome. Standing at a staggering height of 30 meters, this monumental structure is a testament to ancient Roman architecture and engineering prowess. The intricate relief on the column depicts scenes from the Dacian campaigns, narrating the victories of Emperor Trajan over his adversaries. Each detail tells a story of courage, valor, and conquest. However, it is worth noting that over time, the statue of Trajan was replaced by that of St. Peter in 1588 under Pope Sixtus V. In this particular image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, we are treated to a close-up view of St. Peter atop the column. His presence adds an intriguing layer of historical significance and religious symbolism to this already awe-inspiring masterpiece. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork frozen in time through Piranesi's skillful engraving technique, we cannot help but marvel at its grandeur and appreciate its cultural significance. It serves as a reminder not only of Rome's glorious past but also of humanity's enduring fascination with artistry and storytelling throughout history.
