EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning interior of S. Constanza, also known as the Temple of Bacchus, in Rome, Italy. Dating back to the 4th century and erroneously attributed to Emperor Constantine the Great, this architectural masterpiece was actually a mausoleum dedicated to Saint Constance. The image showcases the intricate details of this ancient Roman structure, with its grand archways and towering columns. In this etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi from around 1756, we see background figures adding a sense of scale and life to the scene. The contrast between light and shadow creates a dramatic atmosphere within the burial chamber. This view allows us to imagine what it must have been like for those who visited or were laid to rest within these sacred walls centuries ago. Piranesi's work is renowned for its ability to transport viewers into historical settings, capturing both their beauty and significance. Through his skilled craftsmanship, he brings forth not only an appreciation for architecture but also an understanding of our shared human history. This particular piece is part of Piranesi's series "Vedute di Roma" which showcases various views of Rome's iconic landmarks. It now resides in The Met museum where it serves as a testament to both ancient Roman culture and Piranesi's artistic legacy.
