EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tivoli, Cryptoporticus under the Temple of Hercules Victor, a remarkable piece of architecture steeped in ancient history. Created by Sebastian Vrancx, this pen and ink drawing with wash on paper beautifully captures the intricate details and grandeur of this Roman monument. The Temple of Hercules Victor, also known as Hercules Olivarius, is situated in Piazza Bocca della VeritA in Rome. Its round design features a Greek peripteral layout encircled by a colonnade, giving it an air of elegance and grace. Initially mistaken for a temple dedicated to Vesta, it was later correctly identified by Camille de Tournon during Napoleon's reign. Vrancx's skillful use of hatching and shading brings life to this study drawing. The cross-hatching technique adds depth and texture to the ruins depicted in the artwork. As you gaze at this print, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to ancient Rome. The romantic allure of these crumbling ruins evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. It serves as a reminder that even amidst decay and destruction, beauty can still be found. This image invites us to appreciate both the architectural marvels created by our ancestors and their enduring legacy. Reproduced with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this Flemish masterpiece offers viewers an opportunity to admire Vrancx's talent while immersing themselves in the rich history preserved within its lines.
