Ruïnes van de Thermen van Titus te Rome 1575

"Ruïnes van de Thermen van Titus te Rome" is a 1575 engraving by French artist Étienne Dupérac depicting the ruins of the Baths of Titus in Rome. Dupérac, known for his architectural engravings, captures the grandeur of the once-majestic baths, now overgrown with vegetation. The etching's detailed depiction of the decaying arches, columns, and walls highlights the passage of time and the impermanence of even the grandest structures. This evocative artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and serves as a testament to the enduring power of Roman architecture.
