About the Item

Tiber River Ponte Rotto, Rome – Antique Atmospheric City Print, 1869 This original antique lithograph, issued in Paris in 1869, presents an atmospheric view of the River Tiber with the ancient remains of the Ponte Rotto, rendered with remarkable depth and calm. This atmospheric lithograph presents the River Tiber with the remains of the ancient Ponte Rotto, viewed from near Ponte San Bartolomeo. Boats glide across the water while historic buildings line the riverbanks, creating a tranquil yet deeply evocative cityscape. Philippe Benoist’s careful handling of perspective and reflection gives the river a calm, expansive presence at the heart of the composition. Issued as part of Rome dans sa Grandeur between 1867 and 1869, this plate documents one of Rome’s most historically charged river scenes. The broken arches of the Ponte Rotto stand as a reminder of antiquity amid living 19th-century Rome, blending ruin, daily life, and urban continuity. The soft tinting lends warmth and depth, making this print particularly appealing for decorative interiors. It captures Rome not as a monument alone, but as a lived-in city shaped by water, history, and time—an excellent choice for collectors of Roman landscapes and classic European views. Condition report: Even age toning; light foxing in margins; image area well preserved. Framing tips: Neutral mat with a dark walnut or black frame to emphasize contrast and depth.
