Forum Romanum 1867 - 1948

"Forum Romanum" is an etching by American artist Etha Fles, created between 1867 and 1948. The print depicts a cityscape, likely in Rome, Italy, with a focus on the Forum Romanum and its surrounding structures. Fles uses a dark, somber palette to create a sense of historical weight and grandeur, a style common in 19th-century realist art. The artwork's small dimensions, 151 mm by 192 mm, suggest it was intended for personal collection or intimate viewing, allowing for close contemplation of the detailed textures and evocative atmosphere.
