80 Giacomo Lauro (Circa 1583–1645) – Illustration of The Colosseum (Colosseum, Rome) – Hand-colored engraving (Circa 1620)
This print is a detailed illustration of the Amphitheatrvm Titi Vvlgo Colossevum (The Colosseum in Rome), showing the massive structure in a partially ruined state surrounded by a contemporary landscape. The view contrasts the surviving ancient architecture with the surrounding environment, which includes small figures and a cart, suggesting its use in a travel or antiquity guide. The image is brightly hand-colored, emphasizing the stone and greenery. This plate originates from the major topographical work, Splendore dell'antica Roma (The Splendour of Ancient Rome), which provided comprehensive views of Roman monuments.
Giacomo Lauro was an Italian engraver and publisher active in Rome during the early 17th century. He is best known for his large, multi-volume collection of engraved views, Splendore dell'antica Roma, which documented the ancient and contemporary monuments of Rome.
