EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print depicts the Arch of Janus, an ancient archaeological site located in Rome, Italy. The arch, believed to date back to the 4th century, is a remarkable architectural feature with its arched design and intricate carvings. In this print, the arch stands proudly against a backdrop of overgrown ruins and a bustling cityscape, with people going about their daily lives in the foreground. The print, created in the 17th century by an anonymous artist, is a testament to the enduring allure of Rome's rich history and cultural heritage. The Arch of Janus, also known as the Arch of Janus Geminus, is a triumphal arch dedicated to the Roman god Janus, who was associated with beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, and endings. The arch features two doors, one facing each direction, symbolizing the god's role as the guardian of beginnings and endings. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of historical and archaeological art. It is a beautiful example of the intricacy and detail that can be achieved through the use of pen and ink drawing, brown wash, and watercolor on paper. The print is also a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the appearance of Rome during the 17th century. This print is currently housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it is a cherished part of the museum's extensive collection of European art and archaeology. The print is believed to have been created by the Dutch artist Herman van Swanevelt, although it is unsigned and therefore remains anonymous. Despite this, the print's intricate detail and historical significance make it a valuable and intriguing addition to any collection or display.
