Temple at Tivoli
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 17th-century drawing by the Dutch artist Jacob van der Ulf. Created in 1615, this masterpiece showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the Baroque era through the medium of brown brush and brown wash over graphite on ivory laid paper laid down on board. The drawing depicts the ruins of the Temple of Vesta at Tivoli, an ancient Roman site located in the Lazio region of Italy. The temple, dedicated to the goddess of the hearth, was a popular destination for artists and travelers during the 16th and 17th centuries due to its picturesque beauty and rich historical significance. Van der Ulf's rendering of the temple ruins is a testament to the enduring allure of the site. The artist expertly employs the use of sepia tones, evoking the aged and weathered appearance of the temple walls. The intricate details of the temple's architecture are rendered with remarkable precision, from the ornate columns to the intricate carvings adorning the temple's facade. The drawing also captures the serene atmosphere of the temple's surroundings, with the lush greenery and rolling hills providing a striking contrast to the ruins. The use of graphite pencil adds depth and texture to the drawing, while the wash technique adds a sense of fluidity and movement to the image. This drawing is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on the Baroque era or the art of the Low Countries. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The Temple at Tivoli is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Roman world.
