The Claudian Aqueduct, Rome, 1785
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the remarkable engineering prowess of ancient Rome. Created by Francis Towne in watercolor, pen, ink, and graphite on paper, this artwork measures 32.1x47 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the Paul Mellon Collection. The aqueduct depicted in this piece stands as a testament to Roman ingenuity and architectural brilliance. Its majestic arches span across the River Tiber against a backdrop of ruins and the vast Campagna landscape. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings forth both the grandeur of this structure and its integration into its natural surroundings. This print transports viewers back to a time when Rome was at its zenith during the Grand Tour era. It evokes awe for Appius Claudius' monumental achievement in constructing such an impressive feat of engineering - Aqua Claudia - which supplied fresh water to ancient Rome over long distances. Towne's work not only captures historical significance but also serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create enduring structures that withstand centuries. As we gaze upon "The Claudian Aqueduct" we are reminded of our shared history with ancient civilizations and their contributions to our modern world.
