De boog van Titus op het Forum Romanum 1786 - 1817

"De boog van Titus op het Forum Romanum" is a watercolor painting by Daniël Dupré, created between 1786 and 1817. The artwork depicts the Arch of Titus, a triumphal arch in Rome, constructed to commemorate the victory of Titus over the Jewish people in 70 AD. The arch stands in the foreground with the inscription "Senatus Populusque Romanus" visible. Dupré's accurate representation of the ancient Roman architecture and the inclusion of figures in the scene further enhance the viewer's understanding of the historical significance of this location. The painting captures the grandeur of the arch and its prominent position within the Roman Forum. This work exemplifies the artistic trend of documenting historical sites and monuments during the 18th century, which was fueled by a renewed interest in classical antiquity.
