N.° 14 / [graphic] = Continuazione dei Sepolcri antichi su la Via Appia, colla piccola Chiesa di Domine quo vadis in lontananza [Carlo Labruzzi]. - [S.l.] : [s.n.], [1794?] - 1 print : etching ; image 43 x 55 cm, on sheet 52 x 70 cm.
Good condition. This is the fourteenth in a series of prints from the Via Appia that Carlo Labruzzi executed for Sir Richard Colt Hoare.
Closed access material (Library)
View of one of the first parts of the journey on the Via Appia Antica outside the walls of Rome. On the left the domestic dwelling build on the remains of the so-called Sepulchre ofi Geta. Further along on the left of the road one can also see part of the church of the Domine Quo Vadis and on the right the Sepulchre of Priscilla. Figures feature in the composition as well.
Carlo Labruzzi was popular with the English Grand Tourists in Rome for whom he made souvenir drawings and watercolours. In 1789 on the 31st of October Sir Richard Colt Hoare invited Labruzzi to accompany him along the Appian Way following the itinerary outlined by the Roman poet Horace in his description of a journey made to Brindisi in 38 BC. During this trip Labruzzi was to make drawings of the remains of the ancient tombs and villas along the way. The journey was uncompleted due to bad weather and Labruzzi’s ill health and was terminated at Benevento. However, 226 pen-and-wash drawings were completed and bound into 5 volumes by Colt Hoare. A second set of drawings, which are less highly finished perhaps served as preparatory studies were kept by Labruzzi who engraved 24 of the plates himself 5 years after the journey (1794).
