EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Temple of Hercules at Cori," is a stunning creation by the renowned German artist Johann Gottlieb Prestel, produced around 1784. The image is an exquisite example of an aquatint with roulette on wove paper, showcasing the artist's mastery of the medium. The Temple of Hercules at Cori is a significant ancient Roman ruin located in the Cori Latina province of Lazio, Italy. This temple, dedicated to the mythological Greek god Hercules, is depicted in all its glory in Prestel's illustration. The temple's grandeur is accentuated by the lush greenery surrounding it, creating a harmonious blend of nature and antiquity. Prestel, a member of the prestigious Moretti family of artists, expertly captures the essence of the temple's architectural details, from the intricate columns to the ornate carvings adorning the walls. The use of color aquatint adds depth and texture to the print, making the temple appear almost lifelike. This print is an essential addition to any art collection, particularly for those with an interest in the 18th century, European art, or ancient history. The Temple of Hercules at Cori is not only a beautiful work of art but also a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome. This print is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. Prestel's The Temple of Hercules at Cori is a testament to the enduring power of art to preserve history and transport us to another time and place.
