EDITORS COMMENTS
View of the Campagna of Rome," an exquisite etching and aquatint print created by English artist Richard Cooper in 1778, offers a captivating glimpse into the picturesque landscape of the Roman Campagna in Lazio, Italy. This masterpiece, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, invites us to explore the beauty and charm of the countryside that lay beyond the ancient city's walls. Cooper's expert use of etching and aquatint techniques is showcased in the intricate details of the scene, from the winding country road that leads to the distant horizon, to the rustic cottages nestled among the trees and the grazing sheep in the foreground. The rich, dark brown ink on ivory laid paper adds depth and texture to the image, while the subtle use of sepia tones adds a sense of warmth and nostalgia. The print also captures the essence of rural life in the eighteenth century, with men and women dressed in traditional clothing, tending to their animals and going about their daily tasks. The background is populated with figures walking along the road, adding a sense of activity and movement to the scene. The Campagna of Rome was a favorite subject for artists of the time, who were drawn to the region's natural beauty and the contrast between the ancient ruins and the modern countryside. Cooper's "View of the Campagna of Rome" is a testament to the enduring appeal of this landscape and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of England and Italy during the eighteenth century.
