ROSSINI - ROME in the Spirit of PIRANESI - "Veduta del Campidoglio Romano" (Araceli Church on the left). 1823. Etched by Luigi ROSSINI (1790-1857). Proof with the letter, on laid paper. Margins. Framed. Like his predecessor Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Rossini focused on existing ancient Roman architecture and excavations in and around Rome, and rendered the classical architecture of Rome and its surrounding countryside in great detail. Unlike Piranesi, he made greater use of bucolic settings in his engravings of Roman ruins. 52 x 72 cm unframed. 58,5 x 79 cm with frame. Condition B/C (Some staining and pitting, not examined out of its frame).
