EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing view of the remains of the Temple of Claudius near the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Rome. Taken from Giovanni Battista Piranesi's famous Views of Rome series, this etching showcases his incredible talent for capturing ancient Roman architecture. The image depicts the upper floor of what was initially believed to be cages for wild animals built by Domitian and associated with the Flavian Amphitheatre, commonly known as the Curia Hostillia. However, further research has revealed that these structures are actually remnants of the Temple of Claudius on the Celian Hill. Piranesi's attention to detail is evident in every archway and ruin depicted in this artwork. The intricate design and grandeur of these ancient structures transport viewers back in time to when they were at their prime. The juxtaposition between these historical ruins and the nearby church adds an interesting dynamic to this composition. It serves as a reminder that even though time passes and civilizations change, remnants from our past continue to shape our present. This print is a testament to Piranesi's mastery as an artist and his ability to capture both beauty and history within a single frame. It invites viewers to explore Rome's rich architectural heritage while appreciating its enduring allure.
