[Arch of Janus] Veduta di Fianco dell'Arco di Giano.
Rossini dis. e inc.
Roma 1820.
Etching. 455 x 365mm (18 x 14½"), with large margins, uncut.
The so-called Arch of Janus, the only quadrifrons triumphal arch remaining in Rome, at the edge of the Forum Boarium (cattle market). During the Middle Ages the Frangipane family transformed the building into a fortress, ensuing the building remained intact. However in 1830 the attic and top (as shown here) were torn down in the mistaken belief they were later additions. To the left are the Arcus Argentariorum (Arch of the Moneychangers), and the seventh century church of San Giorgio al Velabro.
The first state, before the plate number, issued unbound. From an early 19th century folder titled 'Roman Engravings. The Property of Major E.G.G. Rugdon[?]'.
[Ref: 51533] £600.00
