EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Excavation Obelisk Campo Marzo ca 1749 Etching" by Jean Barbault, a renowned French artist from Viarmes. The etching depicts an archaeological excavation site in Rome, specifically in Campo Marzo, during the year 1749. The image captures the moment when this ancient obelisk was unearthed in 1748. Standing tall at a height of approximately 252 cm and with a width of around 351 cm, it is truly a remarkable find. The obelisk had been hidden beneath small houses near Palazzo di Montecitorio until they were torn down to make way for new construction. Intriguingly broken into five major pieces, this monumental structure tells stories of ancient civilizations and their architectural prowess. Its significance lies not only in its historical value but also as evidence of human ingenuity throughout time. Barbault's masterful etching technique brings out every intricate detail of the obelisk and surrounding excavation site. The composition beautifully juxtaposes the fragments against the backdrop of Rome's urban landscape. As we admire this stunning print from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a time when Augustinian monks worked diligently to uncover artifacts that would shed light on our past. This artwork serves as a testament to their dedication and passion for preserving history for future generations to appreciate.
