This steel engraving, titled Rome from the Vatican, is based on a painting by the iconic English Romantic artist J.M.W. Turner (Joseph Mallord William Turner) and was engraved by A. Willmore in 1865. The scene captures a magnificent view of St. Peter's Square and Basilica, framed by the richly ornamented architectural interior of the Vatican. The print presents a sweeping perspective, showcasing Turner's fascination with grand urban and architectural compositions. The intricate details of the arches, frescoed ceilings, and the balustrade in the foreground reflect the engraver's skill in translating Turner's sublime visual language into the medium of steel engraving. A group of figures, possibly artists or scholars, is depicted in the foreground, examining artworks and sketchbooks, emphasizing the cultural and historical significance of the setting. The distant cityscape of Rome, with its classical monuments and hills, is rendered with a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective. Turner's works often explored themes of history, light, and human achievement, and this engraving exemplifies his ability to combine architecture and landscape in a poetic way. A. Willmore, known for his precision and craftsmanship, ensures that the engraving remains faithful to Turner's vision, allowing viewers to experience the grandeur of this iconic location. - Approx Image Size: 10 x 7 ins - Approx Overall Size With Borders : 13 1/2 x 9 1/2 ins CONDITION: FULL PAGE STEEL ENGRAVING.
