About the Item

Decorate a study, library, or office with this antique Italian engraving, hand-colored and printed circa 1770. Presented under protective glass in a black and gilt frame with linen matting, the large monochromatic work depicts the “Veduta interna della Villa di Mecenate”, an atmospheric view of the ancient Villa of Maecenas in Rome. Richly detailed with archways, crumbling masonry, laborers, and excavated architectural fragments, the etching reflects the dramatic, archeological aesthetic popularized in the 18th century by artists such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi and his circle. The composition captures both the grandeur and decay of the site, emphasizing its vast vaulted interiors and rugged textures. The Villa of Maecenas, known as the Horti Maecenatis, was the celebrated estate of Gaius Maecenas, advisor to Emperor Augustus and famed patron of the arts. Located on the Esquiline Hill, the complex combined terraces, gardens, and luxurious structures that helped define Roman landscape architecture. Scenes of Rome’s antiquities, including this subject, became highly sought-after among Grand Tour travelers, forming the visual vocabulary of classical education and early archaeological tourism. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, the engraving shows crisp linework and impressive scale, making it a striking focal point in any classical or academic interior. Dimensions: 35" W × 30" H.
