EDITORS COMMENTS
The Coliseum, plate fifteen from the Ruins of Rome, published 1796/98 captures the majestic beauty and historical significance of one of ancient Rome's most iconic structures. This stunning print by Matthew Dubourg takes us back to the 18th century when British fascination with Roman ruins was at its peak. The hand-coloured aquatint on paper brings to life the grandeur of the Flavian Amphitheatre, commonly known as The Colosseum. Its intricate architecture and imposing presence dominate the landscape, reminding us of its once glorious past as a venue for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. Dubourg's attention to detail is evident in every etched line and carefully applied colour. The play between light and shadow adds depth to this illustration, transporting viewers into a bygone era. In this particular scene, we see people in the background going about their daily lives against the backdrop of this magnificent ruin. Their presence serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its construction, The Colosseum continues to be an integral part of Rome's cultural fabric. Titled "The Coliseum" this artwork is part of a series dedicated to capturing various ruins in Rome. It stands as a testament not only to Dubourg's artistic skill but also his deep appreciation for ancient Roman history. Displayed at Art Institute Chicago, this print invites visitors to immerse themselves in both artistry and history while marveling at one of mankind's greatest architectural achievements.
