EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Colosseum in ancient Rome during the 17th century. Plate 8 from Stefano della Bella's collection, "Roman Landscapes and Ruins" showcases two herds of animals being directed towards the amphitheater in the foreground. The etching by Francois Langlois beautifully depicts this archaeological site, highlighting its circular shape and impressive architectural design. The image transports us back in time to witness a scene filled with historical significance. As we gaze upon the Colosseum, we can imagine the bustling activity that once took place within its walls. This iconic tourist attraction continues to captivate visitors from around the world even today. In this particular shot, buffalo, cows, and sheep are seen making their way towards this magnificent structure. Their presence adds an element of liveliness against the backdrop of ancient ruins. The animals' journey symbolizes both nature's harmony with human civilization and their role as part of Roman entertainment. Stefano della Bella's masterful etching technique brings out intricate details while maintaining a sense of simplicity through his use of black and white tones. Through this artwork, he invites viewers to appreciate not only Italy's rich heritage but also his own artistic prowess. Displayed at The Met museum, this print serves as a reminder of our fascination with history and our desire to explore ancient civilizations through artistry like Della Bella’s exquisite work.
