About the Item
Etching of Agostino Chigi's Coat of Arms and View of Rome, by Cesare Fantetti
This exquisite 17th-century etching, created by Italian printmaker Cesare Fantetti between 1653 and 1691, is part of the renowned 'Fontane di Roma' (Fountains of Rome) series. The print features a central pedestal adorned with the command and coat of arms of Agostino Chigi, a notable Roman banker and patron of the arts during the Renaissance. Surrounding the pedestal are allegorical figures including Romulus and Remus suckling the she-wolf, nymphs, and the river god Tiber, symbolizing the vitality and mythology of Rome.
In the background, a panoramic view of Rome showcases its iconic classical architecture, further emphasizing the grandeur of the Eternal City. The composition beautifully intertwines mythology, history, and topographical elements, exemplifying the baroque style's attention to detail and dramatic expression.
This etching is printed on fine paper with dimensions of 212 mm in height by 289 mm in width. The print is in good condition, with light age-toning typical for its time. Fantetti's signature and details are inscribed on the object.
Artistic and Historical Context:
Cesare Fantetti, active during the Baroque period, was known for his intricate etchings and collaborations with prominent artists. This work reflects the cultural significance of Agostino Chigi, whose wealth and influence played a pivotal role in financing Renaissance art and architecture, including Raphael's works.
The *Fontane di Roma* series celebrates Rome's fountains as symbols of life and grandeur, combining classical mythology with the city’s topography. This print captures the essence of 17th-century Rome, where art served as a medium to showcase power, patronage, and the enduring legacy of antiquity. The mythological figures and allegories also highlight the symbolic connection between water, life, and the divine in Roman culture.
This piece is an excellent addition to collections focused on Baroque art, Italian etchings, or the history of Rome.
