EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Temple of Faustina" in all its grandeur. Etched by Agostino Tofanelli in 1833, the image is brought to life with a delicate brown wash, adding depth and texture to the scene. The temple, also known as the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, was dedicated by the Senate in 141 AD to Empress Faustina and later to Emperor Antoninus Pius upon his death. Located in Rome, this ancient architectural marvel has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its Corinthian columns and classical portico. The photograph captures both male and female figures standing near a fence, seemingly immersed in awe at the archaeological site before them. The intricate frieze and architrave are beautifully preserved on the facade of this Roman temple. Its transformation into the church of San Lorenzo in Miranda during medieval times adds an intriguing layer of historical significance. In 1602, it received a Baroque facelift that further enhanced its majestic presence. This stunning engraving was part of Pietro Fontana's collection titled "Recueil des vues au bister dessinees et lavees par Callimachus" which documented antiquities and curiosities from Rome and its surroundings. Now housed within a private collection, this print serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage. With its meticulous attention to detail and expert craftsmanship, this print transports viewers back through time to experience firsthand one of Rome's most iconic landmarks - The Temple of Faustina.
