EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 16th century, showcasing two iconic landmarks - The Aqueduct at Segovia and The Castle of Madrid. Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen's etching beautifully captures the architectural marvels of this era. The image is framed in a letterbox format, allowing us to take in the full panoramic view of these magnificent structures. The aqueduct stands tall, its grand arches stretching across the landscape with remarkable precision and engineering prowess. In contrast, the castle looms majestically on a hilltop, exuding strength and fortification. As we delve into this scene further, we notice people scattered throughout. A group of children playfully explore their surroundings while men and women go about their daily lives. This glimpse into Dutch country life adds depth to the historical context captured by Vermeyen. The meticulous attention to detail brings out every intricate feature of these landmarks - from the Roman-inspired rooftops to the delicate lines that define each building's structure. It is evident that Vermeyen sought to immortalize not only these architectural wonders but also the spirit and essence of Renaissance Europe. This print serves as a visual time capsule, transporting us back centuries ago when these structures were still new and awe-inspiring. It reminds us of our rich heritage and invites contemplation on how architecture has shaped our history over time.
