EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi transports us back to the ancient Temple of Clitumnus, nestled between Fulgino and Spoleto in Italy. The year is 1748, and through Piranesi's skilled hand, we are able to witness this remarkable architectural wonder frozen in time. The temple stands proudly amidst a lush landscape, its grandeur juxtaposed with the encroaching overgrowth that surrounds it. This scene evokes a sense of awe and reverence for the passage of time and the enduring power of ancient civilizations. Piranesi's attention to detail brings every element of this Roman temple to life. From the intricate carvings adorning its facade to the weathered stones that tell tales of centuries past, each feature tells a story waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon this print at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA, we cannot help but feel grateful for Rozwell Sam Adams' generous bequest in memory of Herndon Kimball Adams and Loither Iler Adams. Their contribution ensures that future generations can appreciate and learn from these cultural treasures. This etching not only captures an exquisite moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our shared human history. It invites us to reflect on our own place within the continuum of civilization while marveling at the beauty and resilience found within classical architecture such as this magnificent temple.
