The image captures three different views of this historical landmark, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and design. At the top, we see the proscenium, a beautifully adorned stage where performances would have taken place. Its ornate decorations hint at the opulence that once graced this venue. In the center view, a cross-section reveals the inner workings of the amphitheater, giving us insight into its construction and layout. Finally, at the bottom of the print, we are presented with a glimpse of what it was like for spectators in ancient Rome as they filled up each seating area. The rows upon rows of stone benches remind us of how important entertainment was in their lives. Dating back to 1779, this French print by Pierre-Philippe Choffard not only captures an iconic piece of architecture but also serves as a testament to our fascination with history and civilization. It allows us to appreciate Europe's rich cultural heritage while reminding us that even centuries later, these ancient structures continue to inspire awe and admiration.
