EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent facade of the Basilica of S. Croce in Gerusalemme, also known as the Holy Cross in Jerusalem. Taken from Giovanni Battista Piranesi's renowned series "Vedute di Roma" (Roman Views) around 1750, this etching beautifully captures the essence of baroque architecture. The basilica, dating back to the 4th century, stands as a testament to Rome's rich heritage and its deep connection with Christianity. Its grand entrance beckons visitors into a world of religious devotion and architectural splendor. In this image, we see men standing near the entrance, adding a sense of scale to the monumental structure. Their presence reminds us that this building is not just an architectural marvel but also a place where people come together for worship and reflection. Piranesi's masterful use of black and white enhances the intricate details carved into every inch of the facade. The play between light and shadow creates a dramatic effect that further emphasizes its grandeur. As we gaze at this print, we are transported back in time to experience both the majesty of Roman Catholicism and Italy's cultural legacy. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with religion and history—a timeless expression captured by Piranesi through his remarkable talent.
