EDITORS COMMENTS
This view, created by the renowned Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi between the 1760s and 1770s, showcases the Temple of Bacchus, now known as the Church of San Urbano, situated two miles beyond Rome's Porta San Sebastiano. Piranesi, a master of the 18th century, expertly captured the essence of this ancient structure in his etching, "View of the Temple of Bacchus, now the church of San Urbano, two miles distant from Rome." The Temple of Bacchus, an ancient Roman edifice, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Italian countryside. Once dedicated to the Roman god of wine, fertility, and theater, the temple now serves as a church, a testament to the enduring history of the region. The temple's once grand facade, adorned with intricate lettering and figures, can still be discerned through the ruins. Piranesi's etching, part of his famous series "Vedute di Roma," offers a unique perspective on the temple's architectural beauty and historical significance. The black and white image, reminiscent of the past, invites the viewer to ponder the rich heritage of ancient Rome and the transformation of its structures over time. The Temple of Bacchus, now San Urbano alla Caffarella, continues to be an important piece of Italy's artistic and religious history, as captured by the skilled hand of Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
