Description
Panorama of the city from Monte Mario. Drawn by Friedrich Berhard Werner, engraved by Johann Georg Ringlin and published by Martin Engelbrecht (1684 - 1756).
At center below, shield with oblique inscription SPQR. Bottom 82 numbers of legend. Not only the port of Ripetta but also the Spanish Steps are clearly visible (1723-26), hence the dating to about 1730. This view is part of a series of profiles of the city that have as their probable prototype the larger one engraved by Werner around 1730 (at lower left is written Fridr. Bernh. Werner del.): see among other things the identical vertical deformation of all the monuments (and in particular of Castel Sant'Angelo) and the way of depicting the cultivated fields in the foreground. (see Marigliani, p. 266).
Copper engraving, good condition. Rare.
