Zicht op de Boog van Caracalla in Djémila 1843

"Zicht op de Boog van Caracalla in Djémila" (View of the Arch of Caracalla in Djemila), a lithograph by Adrien Dauzats (1804-1868), depicts the ancient Roman arch in Djemila, Algeria. Created in 1843, the artwork showcases the arch's imposing structure and its setting amidst a mountainous landscape. The detailed rendering of the arch's architectural elements, including the intricate carvings and the weathered stonework, invites viewers to imagine the grandeur of this historical monument. The presence of two figures in the foreground, seemingly contemplating the ruins, adds a sense of human scale and perspective to the scene. This lithograph is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the fascinating history of Roman architecture and its presence in North Africa.
