EDITORS COMMENTS
Castel Sant'Angelo, 1746: A Timeless Masterpiece by Alexander Cozens Castel Sant'Angelo, a historic castle and mausoleum in Rome, Italy, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Roman skyline in this exquisite etching by Alexander Cozens, created in 1746. The castle, which dates back to the 2nd century, has served various functions throughout history, including as a fortress, a mausoleum, and a burial site for popes. Cozens, a British artist of the 18th century, captures the essence of the castle's grandeur and historical significance in this monochromatic etching on ivory wove paper. The image, a testament to the Romantic era and its fascination with the past, is a conceptual representation of the castle's timeless beauty and the rich heritage it embodies. The fortress, located on the right bank of the Tiber River, is depicted in all its glory, with its imposing height and intricate fortifications. The castle's distinctive architecture, with its tall cylindrical towers and arched windows, is accentuated by the stark contrast between light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The image, which is part of the Arts of the Book collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a reminder of the enduring allure of Rome's ancient landmarks and the artistic legacy of the Romantic era. Cozens' masterful use of black and white in this etching invites the viewer to explore the castle's history and imagine the stories that lie within its walls.
