About the Item
Title: Roman Excavation Print - 1820 Pinelli & Bridgens Etching
Description: This detailed 1820 etching, titled "Excavating Near the Temple of Jupiter Stator, Rome," captures the bustling activity of an archaeological dig in early 19th-century Rome, a collaborative work by Italian artist Bartolomeo Pinelli and British artist Richard Bridgens. The scene unfolds beneath the imposing columns of the Temple of Jupiter Stator, a significant Roman landmark, with workers diligently uncovering history. The illustration depicts laborers in traditional attire, using tools like pickaxes and wheelbarrows to excavate artifacts, some of which are visible in the foreground, including pottery and architectural fragments. The setting is vibrant, with greenery and Roman architecture in the background, including buildings with red-tiled roofs, adding a sense of place and time. The workers’ focused efforts reflect the growing fascination with antiquity during this period, as Europe experienced a surge in archaeological exploration and the rediscovery of ancient Rome’s treasures.
Bartolomeo Pinelli (1781–1835), a Roman artist, was celebrated for his etchings that documented Italian life, history, and culture with a Romantic sensibility. His ability to capture the textures of clothing and the energy of historical scenes made his works popular among collectors. Richard Bridgens (1785–1846), a British artist and architect, likely contributed as an engraver or collaborator, as his name appears alongside Pinelli’s. Published in London in 1820 by Ackermann, as noted at the bottom ("London Pub. Jan 1820 by Ackermann & Joy"), this print reflects the international appeal of Pinelli’s work and the collaborative efforts of the time to bring such scenes to a broader audience. The etching’s fine lines and careful shading highlight the artists’ skill in portraying both the grandeur of Roman architecture and the labor of excavation, making this piece a compelling historical document for enthusiasts of Roman history and 19th-century art.
Condition Summary: The 1820 etching has minor foxing and slight edge discoloration, consistent with age. No tears or major damage; details and colors are well-preserved.
Framing Tips: Choose a classic oak or gold frame to echo the print’s historical theme. A beige mat will enhance its tones; use UV glass to protect it.
