Ruelle, Rome 1873 - 1931

"Ruelle, Rome" is an etching by Etienne Bosch, a French artist known for his depictions of urban life. Created between 1873 and 1931, the artwork captures a bustling alleyway in Rome. The viewer is positioned within the archway, looking down the narrow street toward the city beyond. Bosch's use of subtle lines and tonal variation conveys the atmosphere of the street, with figures of pedestrians and vendors adding to the scene's realism. The etching's small scale and intimate perspective draw the viewer into the heart of this bustling Roman alley.
