EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the Fountainhead of the Acqua Felice. . . . from Vedute di Roma (Roman Views), ca. 1751" takes us back to the magnificent city of Rome in the 18th century. The image showcases an architectural marvel, the Acqua Felice aqueduct, which stands proudly against a bustling street. The etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi beautifully captures the grandeur and intricacy of this historic structure. The facade of the building is awe-inspiring, with its ornate details and imposing presence. It serves as a testament to both Roman engineering prowess and artistic brilliance. In this scene, we see a lone man standing near the fountainhead, perhaps contemplating its significance or simply enjoying a moment amidst his busy surroundings. His presence adds a sense of scale to this monumental piece of architecture. Piranesi's mastery in capturing light and shadow through his use of black and white creates depth and drama within this composition. The contrast between light and dark emphasizes every intricate detail on both the building exterior and surrounding street. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from centuries ago, it transports us to another time - allowing us to appreciate not only Rome's rich history but also Piranesi's exceptional talent for immortalizing such moments through his vedute series. This photograph print is truly a treasure that reminds us of our cultural heritage preserved at institutions like The Metropolitan Museum of Art or Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga where it can
