Aurelio Antonino Augusto dictata. by Pietro Santi Bartoli, Giovan Bellori Giovanni Pietro.The most eminent historian and antiquarian in seventeeth-century Rome was Giovan Pietro Bellori(1613-96). He was the first rector of the Accademia di San Luca, the Commissioner of Antiquities from 1670, and the librarian of Queen Christina of Sweden. As Commissioner, Bellori's responsibilities included the survey of the condition of ancient monuments; he recorded excavations and made an attempt to classify and describe the objects found. He wrote the text for publication of the triumphal arches, and the columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius. The detailed measured drawings were entrusted to Pietro Santi Bartoli (1635-1700), who became his successor as the Commissioner of Antiquities.Until the late nineteenth century, the only resources available to the scholar interested in the reliefs of the column (besides the original itself) were two drawings: one made in the 1670s by Pietro Santi Bartoli, and another executed in 1758 by Piranesi. Bartoli drew the entire frieze, and his drawings were translated into prints in which the frieze is divided into rectangular segments in a horizontal alignment, as per this example.Overall size of this engravingis approx 43cm x 27.5cm with large margins, perfect for mounting and framing.
