Luigi Bazzani
Luigi Bazzani - Port of Portus, Italy

About the Item

Luigi Bazzani’s delicate watercolor of the busy port of Portus, Rome depicts in detail, and the activities underway. The realism of the architectural details, from every step and stone to the ornate column and delicate ornamentation and curves of the gondolas highlight the action of the square. This work transports us to the classical era of Rome. Luigi Bazzani was a painter, illustrator, and watercolorist from Bologna. Inspired by the excavations of the Roman site of Pompei, he spent forty years of his life documenting the remains of the ancient city that, which, while discovered in 1748, were still being brought to light at the end of the 19th century. Bazzani produced numerous of drawings of the buildings and streets of Pompei, including watercolor views and more technical architectural studies. 1 Bassani's masterful technique enabled him to replicate surfaces, materials, and decorations with many details and astonishing precision. Bazzani’s attention to detail was prized by the archeologists working in Pompei at the time. Given their almost photographic qualities, the watercolors are still today a most valuable source of information for scholars, particularly since many of the sites depicted by Bazzani, especially the interiors of some of the houses, are today irreparably lost. The artist continued to travel to Pompei until late in his life in the first decades of the 20th century. - askART Database
