ROME VEDUTA DELL'ANTICA PORTA LATINA CON LE MURA ANTICHE DI ROMA

£375

A superb copper engraving from "Le Antichita Romane, ossia Raccolta della piu interessante Vedute di Roma Antica.” Rome: 1820.The Vedute of Rossini have suffered unfairly from the inevitable comparison with those of Piranesi. While Rossini’s plates may not possess the terribilita displayed by those of his predecessor, his calmer less tempestuous approach, realistic scale and perspective, captures the splendour of Rome, and bears favourable comparison with the work of the older master.(M.Finney).Mint condition
