EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from the Venice edition of De Arquitectura, published in 1511. The artwork originates from the ancient Roman work of Vitruvius, a renowned architect and engineer during the 1st century BC. In this image, we witness a scene depicting construction works with two individuals diligently carrying a cylindus and a mesolabius. The historical significance of this engraving cannot be overstated. It offers us a glimpse into the architectural practices of ancient Rome, revealing their meticulous attention to detail and innovative building techniques. As we observe these figures engaged in their laborious task, it becomes evident that construction has always been an integral part of human civilization. The artist behind this masterpiece is Santiago Ortega, who skillfully captures the essence of Vitruvius' work through his intricate engravings. Each line etched on paper serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess and technical expertise required for such craftsmanship. As we delve into history through this remarkable piece, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its educational value. This engraving transports us back in time to witness firsthand how architecture was conceived and executed centuries ago. It reminds us that our built environment is deeply rooted in tradition while inspiring future generations to continue pushing boundaries in architectural design and construction methods.
