EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Buonajuti, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1843, offers a captivating view of the exterior of the Coliseum in Rome. Known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, this iconic structure was built during the 1st century AD and is one of the most recognizable symbols of ancient Rome. The Coliseum was an innovative architectural marvel of its time, designed to host various forms of public spectacles, including gladiatorial contests, mock sea battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The engraving provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Coliseum's exterior, with its distinctive elliptical shape, arched entrances, and intricate decorative elements. The image also includes a plan and elevation of the structure, offering a comprehensive view of its architectural design. The Verona Arena, another ancient Roman amphitheater, is depicted in the background, providing a sense of scale and context. Buonajuti's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate textures and shading used to bring the image to life. The handcoloured elements add depth and richness, making the print a beautiful and historically significant work of art. This engraving is not only a valuable historical record of the Coliseum but also an exquisite example of 19th-century illustration and printmaking techniques. The Coliseum continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world, and this stunning image provides a glimpse into its storied past.
