EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite mural decoration of the Antique Room from the Villa Negroni in 1778. Created by Angelo Campanella, this coloured engraving measures 56x64.3 cm and is courtesy of the Trustees of Sir John Soanes Museum in London. The image transports us to a time when Sir John Soane himself witnessed the excavation of this extraordinary ancient interior during his stay in Rome. The intricate murals depicted here would go on to influence the decoration in the Library-Dining Room, while a set of these prints adorns the Breakfast Room. The mural itself is a testament to Roman architecture and its attention to detail. It features an array of fascinating elements including female figures, doves symbolizing peace, cherubs or putti representing innocence and love, all set against a backdrop that exudes grandeur. Campanella's engraving skillfully captures every nuance and delicate brushstroke present in the original artwork. The result is an awe-inspiring piece that allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance. With its depiction of nudity intertwined with architectural splendor, this print serves as a reminder that art has always pushed boundaries and challenged societal norms throughout history. It stands as a timeless testament to human creativity and our enduring fascination with capturing beauty through various mediums like engravings.
