EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created in the 16th century by an anonymous artist, showcases the Column of Dilius and Obelisque Fountain in Rome. The intricate architectural drawing, published by Antonio Lafreri, transports us back in time to the rich cultural heritage of the Italian Renaissance. The Column of Dilius, a decorated pillar adorned with lettering and mythological figures, stands proudly in the foreground. Its intricate design reflects the artistic and architectural prowess of the era, with the mythical figure of Dilius, the god of abundance, depicted at its summit. In the background, the Obelisque Fountain adds an element of grandeur to the scene. The obelisk, an ancient Egyptian monument, is skillfully integrated into the Roman landscape, with water cascading down its sides, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. This print is a testament to the beauty and sophistication of the art and architecture of the 16th century. It is a mirror of the magnificence of Rome, a city renowned for its rich history and cultural significance. The print, which is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a valuable addition to any art or history enthusiast's collection.

The print, which has been passed down through the centuries, continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its intricate design and historical significance.
