Rembrandt van Rijn

Christ and the Woman from Samaria

1650s

This early 19th century etching entitled "Veduta dello scavo del Foro Trajano" was created by Luigi Rossini and included in his publication "Le Antichita Romane" (The Rome of Antiquity), published in Rome in 1823. It depicts the historical victory column of Trajan standing amidst the rubble of broken columns that remain around it.

The pair would make an attractive display grouping of Roman architecture. A discount is available for purchase of the pair of prints.
