Luigi Rossini's "View of the Ancient Aqueduct and Fountains Situated Near the Chiavica del Bufalo in Rome" (1822) is a detailed etching that captures the grandeur of ancient Roman architecture. The piece highlights the aqueduct's imposing arches, with the viewer looking up at the intricate structure from a street-level perspective. The depiction of water flowing from the fountains reinforces the aqueduct's functionality, and the presence of figures in the foreground adds a sense of scale and human interaction with the ancient site. This work is part of a larger series by Rossini, documenting the architectural treasures of Rome, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history and enduring power.
