Arch of Titus in Rome
1873-1931
Etienne Bosch captures the timeless grandeur of Rome in this atmospheric etching of the Arch of Titus. The ancient monument, marked with the bold letters 'SENATVS', rises from a landscape of rough, textured ground and overgrown trees. Two small figures stand in the foreground, dwarfed by the massive stone structure, emphasizing the sheer scale of history surrounding them. The print is marked '1er etat 6/75', indicating it's a 'first state' proof from a limited series of 75, preserving the artist's initial, energetic vision of the ruins.
