EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the year 1756, when Jean-Claude-Richard de Saint-Non, a renowned French artist of the 18th century, created this exquisite etching titled "Part of the Old Appian Way". The artwork beautifully captures a section of the ancient Roman road known as Via Appia Antica. As we gaze upon this piece, we are immediately drawn into its rich historical significance. The meticulous details and intricate lines showcase Saint-Non's mastery in etching. Every stroke seems to breathe life into the scene, allowing us to imagine ourselves walking along this iconic pathway that has witnessed centuries of human history. The Old Appian Way holds immense cultural importance as one of Rome's oldest and most significant roads. It served as a vital artery connecting Rome with Brindisi in southern Italy during ancient times. This particular segment depicted by Saint-Non reveals remnants of weathered stone columns lining both sides, hinting at its former grandeur. Through his artistry, Saint-Non invites us to contemplate not only the physical beauty but also the profound historical legacy embedded within these ancient stones. As we admire this print, let it serve as a reminder that even though time may pass and civilizations may rise and fall, there will always be traces left behind for future generations to marvel at and learn from.
