About the Item

Antique print, titled: 'Basis Columnae Rostratae (?)' - This original old antique print shows a rostral column in Rome, Italy. It is a type of victory column, originating in ancient Greece and Rome where they were erected to commemorate a naval military victory. This original old antique print / plate originates from: 'Beschryving van Oud en Nieuw Rome. Verdeelt in drie Deelen. In 't Fransch beschreven door den Heer Francois Desseine. En in 't Nederduitsch vertaalt.', by Francois Desseine and published by Francois Halma in 1704, first published in French in 1690. Copies of this work are rarely complete as the maps and engravings are of high quality matching the work of Piranesi. Artists and Engravers: Made by 'P. Sluiter' after 'Jan Goeree'. Made by P. Sluiter after Jan Goeree. Jan Goeree (1670-1731) was a Dutch engraver and poet. He was the son of the Middelburg bookseller Willem Goeree. Born in Middelburg, but soon they moved to Amsterdam.

Column of Trajan in Rome: A Framed Original 19th C. Etching by Luigi Rossini
By Luigi Rossini
Located in Alamo, CA
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 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 27" high, 29.07" wide and 0.5" deep. The print is framed and matted in the identical style as the another etching of an ancient Roman landmark, the Piazza Navona, which is also listed on 1stdibs, see item # LU117326144172. The pair would make an attractive display grouping of Roman architecture. A discount is available for purchase of the pair of prints. Luigi Rossini (1790-1857) like his predecessors, Giovanni Piranesi (1720–1778) and Giuseppi Vasi (1710-1782), was an architect and artist. Like Piranesi and Vasi, he wanted to glorify the architecture of ancient Rome, which he felt was deteriorating and needed to be documented. Several of the ruins he illustrated have, in fact, since disappeared leaving only his images as a record of their appearance. His images of the grand edifices of the city dramatically depict the power and glory...
