EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting etching by Thomas Bowles, titled 'A View of the Seat of Belvedere in Vaticano near Rome,' transports us back to the 18th century and the breathtaking beauty of the Giardini Vaticani in Vatican City. The intricate details of the architectural masterpieces and lush gardens are brought to life through Bowles' skilled hand. On the left, the Fontana degli Specchi, or the Mirror Fountain, reflects the grandeur of the surrounding buildings. In the middle stands the Casino di Pio IV, a magnificent structure adorned with intricate columns and ornate decorations. The foreground showcases the Giardino de Semplici, a beautiful flower garden filled with vibrant colors and fragrant blooms. In the background, the Fontana delle Torri, or the Fountain of the Towers, adds an element of mystery and allure to the scene. The influence of the Medici family, particularly Giovanni Angelo Medici, is evident in the design and execution of these stunning structures. This etching, created in 1750, provides a glimpse into the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Italy during the eighteenth century. The combination of architecture, landscaping, and natural beauty make the Giardini Vaticani a must-see tourist attraction and a testament to the enduring allure of Italy's past. Thomas Bowles, a British artist, expertly captures the essence of this remarkable location in his etching, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum's esteemed collection. This work of art invites us to explore the history and charm of the Vatican Gardens and the Seat of Belvedere, transporting us to a time when grandeur and beauty reigned supreme.
