EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Temple of Jupiter Tonans - Restored by Camporesi" in all its grandeur. The etching with brown wash brings out the intricate details and architectural beauty of this ancient Roman temple. Originally known as the Temple of Vespasian, it was erected by Titus and Domitian, sons of Emperor Vespasian, after his death in 79 AD. However, over time, it fell into ruins until the early 19th century when restoration efforts began. In 1810, three columns from the temple were excavated and consolidated by the Accademia di San Luca. These columns were then re-erected on a new basement designed by architect Giuseppe Camporesi. His meticulous work brought back to life the Corinthian capitals that once adorned this magnificent structure. The print also captures a group of individuals studying and drawing at the archaeological site. Their presence adds a sense of scale to emphasize the immense size and historical significance of this temple. This image serves as a testament to both human curiosity and dedication to preserving our past. It reminds us that through careful excavation and conservation efforts, we can uncover hidden treasures from antiquity for future generations to appreciate. Overall, this print is not only visually stunning but also offers a glimpse into an important moment in history where artistry meets archaeology in restoring one of Rome's iconic landmarks.
