EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, created by Henry Moses in 1814, showcases a breathtaking view of the Mausoleum of Hadrian, also known as the Castle of St. Angelo, nestled within Parco Adriano in Rome. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient Rome. The Mausoleum of Hadrian, built between 134 and 139 AD, was commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a tomb for himself and his family. The monumental structure, with its imposing cylindrical shape and height, was designed to evoke the image of a Greek tower, reflecting Hadrian's admiration for Greek culture. The engraving reveals the mausoleum standing proudly against the backdrop of a clear, azure sky. The bridge, Ponte Sant'Angelo, spans the Tiber River, connecting the mausoleum to the city. The castle, which later became the Castle of St. Angelo, can be seen atop the mausoleum, adding a medieval touch to the classical scene. The derelict ruins surrounding the mausoleum hint at the passage of time and the many historical events that have unfolded within this ancient landscape. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of Rome's classical architecture and the myths and legends that continue to captivate our imaginations. This exquisite copperplate engraving, part of Henry Moses' Collection of Antique Vases, Altars, etc., is a stunning reminder of the beauty and history that can be found within the ancient city of Rome.
