EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi takes us back in time to the bustling streets of an old circus, circa 1760. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship transport us to a world where ancient monuments coexist with grandiose architecture. In this mesmerizing scene, we are greeted by a panorama of classical beauty. The Circus Maximus dominates the foreground, its vast oval shape stretching into the distance. Surrounding it are magnificent temples, pillars, and columns that stand as testaments to Rome's rich history. The artist's skillful use of perspective draws our eyes down avenues lined with elegant buildings and obelisks. Each element is meticulously rendered, capturing the essence of Roman architecture at its peak. As we explore this print further, we can't help but be captivated by the sense of grandeur that permeates every inch of the composition. It is a testament to Piranesi's ability to create capricci - fantastical scenes that blend reality with imagination. This remarkable artwork now resides in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA thanks to Rozwell Sam Adams' generous bequest in memory of Herndon Kimball Adams and Loither Iler Adams. Its presence there allows visitors from around the world to marvel at this stunning glimpse into ancient Rome's architectural splendor.
