Amphitheatrum Castrense te Rome 1675 - 1711

This etching, created by an anonymous artist between 1675 and 1711, depicts the ruins of the Amphitheatrum Castrense in Rome. The artwork showcases the partially preserved structure of the amphitheater, with its distinctive oval shape and remnants of arches and walls. The etching provides a historical glimpse into this once-grand Roman arena, highlighting the passage of time and the enduring legacy of ancient architecture. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a valuable example of 17th-century graphic arts depicting Roman ruins.
