EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate and awe-inspiring architecture of the Theatre of Marcellus in Rome. Engraved by Michael Tramezini in 1558, this detailed plan showcases the grandeur and magnificence of one of ancient Rome's most iconic structures. Built by Emperor Augustus around 23 BC as a memorial to his nephew, this amphitheater stands as a testament to Roman engineering and design prowess. The plan reveals the meticulous layout of the theater, with its semicircular seating arrangement and tiered levels that could accommodate up to 20,000 spectators. The engraving beautifully highlights every architectural detail - from the majestic columns adorning the façade to the intricate arches that support each level. It offers a glimpse into what it would have been like for audiences during ancient times, immersing us in an atmosphere filled with excitement and anticipation for performances held within these hallowed walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves among those who once gathered here for theatrical spectacles or gladiatorial contests. This image serves as a reminder of Rome's rich cultural heritage and its enduring influence on art and architecture throughout history. Part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection, this Italian masterpiece is now available for all to appreciate without copyright restrictions. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to marvel at its beauty while also appreciating its historical significance as an architectural wonder from ancient Rome.
