Jean Barbault
Piazza Navona in Rome: A Framed Original 18th Century Etching by Barbault

1762

About the Item

This early 19th century etching entitled "Veduta di Piazza Navona sopra le rovine del Circo" was created by Jean Barbault (1718-1762) after a painting by Domenico Montagu (b?-1750), published in Rome in 1762. It depicts the Piazza Navona with its three fountains: Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, Fontana del Moro and Fontana di Nettuno. La Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of Four Rivers for the figures depicting the Ganges, Nile, Danube and Rio de la Plata rivers) with its central obelisk was designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The Plaza Navona was built on the prior site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian which was erected in the 1st century AD where Romans went to watch games. It was known at the time as "Circus Agonalis". The etching is presented in a black wood frame with a light brown outer mat and a dark brown inner mat. There are several frame abrasions. The print and mats are in very good condition. The frame measures 24" high, 31" wide and 0.5" deep. The print is framed and matted in the identical style and color as another etching of ancient Roman architecture which depicts the Column of Trajan by Luigi Rossini. See item # LU117326144112. The pair would make an attractive and interesting display grouping of Roman architecture. A discount is available for the purchase of the pair of prints. Jean Barbault (1718–1762) was a French painter, etcher and printmaker, who worked in Rome for most of his life. He was a follower of Giovanni Piranesi. He created engravings and etchings for publications documenting ancient Roman architecture: "Varie vedute di Roma antica e moderna" and" Monuments de Rome Ancienne". Domenico Montagu was an Italian engraver and etcher who, like Barbault, was an admirer of ancient Roman architecture and a follower of Piranesi.
