About the Item
Circus Flaminius, Rome – Antique Engraving after Jan Goeree, 1704
This detailed early 18th-century engraving presents a reconstruction of the Circus Flaminius, one of the great public spaces of ancient Rome. Located at the southern end of the Campus Martius near the Tiber River, the Circus Flaminius was originally built in 221 BC by Gaius Flaminius Nepos. It served as a venue for assemblies, markets, triumphal processions, and public games, often associated with military victories.
The upper image shows an imaginative reconstruction of the Circus in its grandeur, with its multi-tiered arcades, monumental obelisks, statues, and racing chariots within the arena. The precision and architectural detail convey both the scale and the ceremonial purpose of this lost Roman structure.
The lower image offers a view of Rome with the church of Santa Maria in Campitelli, framed by two statues and classical motifs, a reminder of how Christian Rome was layered upon its pagan past. The composition integrates ancient ruins, living traditions, and allegorical figures, emphasizing the continuity between antiquity and early modern Rome.
This print originates from *Beschryving van Oud en Nieuw Rome* (Description of Old and New Rome), published by François Halma in Utrecht, 1704. The work was translated from the French text by François Desseine (first published in 1690). It combined historical narrative with finely engraved plates documenting the city’s monuments, ruins, and churches. The quality of the engravings was regarded as comparable to later works by Piranesi, making copies of the volume often incomplete due to collectors removing the plates.
The engraving is based on designs by Jan Goeree (1670–1731), a Dutch artist, poet, and engraver, known for his book illustrations and historical depictions.
Condition: Very good impression with wide margins. Light toning and a few faint spots consistent with age. Overall clean and well-preserved.
Framing tips: A classic dark walnut or ebony frame with a cream mount highlights the architectural details, while a gilt frame emphasizes the grandeur of the subject, ideal for a collector of Roman antiquities.
