This etching, titled "The Amphitheater in Bordeaux", created by Lambert Suavius in 1554, is a detailed depiction of the ruined amphitheater in Bordeaux, France. The artwork is part of Suavius's series "Ruinarum variarum fabricarum delineationes pictoribus caeterisque id genus artificibus multum utiles" (Drawings of the ruins of various buildings, very useful for painters and other artists of this kind), a collection of architectural drawings aimed at aiding artists in their representations of classical architecture. The print showcases the amphitheater's impressive scale and architectural details, including the arched colonnades and the partially collapsed upper sections, offering a glimpse into the structure's past grandeur.
