Boog van Titus te Rome 1548

This anonymous drawing of the Arch of Titus in Rome, made in 1548, captures the impressive architecture of the ancient monument. The detailed depiction of the arch's intricate carvings, columns, and inscription, "Senatus Populusque Romanus Div[o] Tito Div[o] Vespasiano [F] Vespasiano Augusto," provides a glimpse into the architectural style and artistic sensibilities of the Renaissance period. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork is a valuable example of the renewed interest in classical art and architecture during the Renaissance, a period characterized by a revival of classical forms and ideas.
