Alta veduta presa sotto il grand' arco dell' Emissario di Albano, original etching by Luigi Rossini, Roma 1825, beautiful and fresh proof, 75 X 55 cm for the sheet 

Luigi Rossini (1790 - 1857) was an Italian artist, known for his engravings of Roman architecture. Rossini was born in Ravenna, and studied at the Academy of Bologna with Antonio Giuseppe Basoli and Giovanni Antonio Antolini. Like his predecessor Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Rossini placed great emphasis on Roman architecture and excavations in and around. On the other hand, according to Piranesi, he made greater use of bucolic settings in his engravings of Roman ruins. His images of ancient Roman architectural masterpieces, including the Pantheon, the Colosseum, the Via Appia, the Temple of Peace, and the Golden House of Nero, have greatly influenced architects, artists, writers and other connoisseurs of Roman culture up to the present time. His first series of views were published in 1814. He began his Roman Antiquities series in 1819, completing 101 large etchings which were published in Rome in 1825.
