EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Basilica of Sant Agnese fuori le Mura, a stunning 7th-century basilica located in Rome. The etching with brown wash technique used by artist Agostino Tofanelli beautifully captures the intricate details and architectural grandeur of this historic church. The image depicts the interior of the basilica, where a female figure is seen kneeling in prayer. The columns, carved ceiling, and matroneum create an atmosphere of reverence and awe. The Corinthian style architecture adds to the elegance and gracefulness of the space. Noteworthy elements within the basilica include a baldacchino, which stands tall over the high altar, as well as a narthex that leads into the main nave. These features further enhance the religious significance and spiritual ambiance of this sacred place. Engraved by Pietro Fontana, this print is part of "Recueil des vues au bister dessinees et lavees par Callimachus" a collection that documents antiquities and curiosities in Rome during various historical periods. It also highlights important restoration efforts undertaken on this ancient structure throughout history. The Basilica of Sant Agnese fuori le Mura holds great importance for its preservation of relics belonging to Saint Agnes herself along with those of Saint Emerentiana. This print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and an insightful glimpse into Roman history for all who appreciate fine art photography.
