Views of Rome: The Arch or Titus

Giovanni Battista Piranesi

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white etching of a large, ancient stone archway with intricate carvings and a Latin inscription at the top. The archway is standing alone on a street with a large stone inscription on the ground in front of it. A group of people are gathered on the left side of the image in 18th-century clothing. In the background, there are other ancient stone structures, including another archway and a tower. The sky is cloudy. The buildings on either side of the arch are tall and made of stone. Trees and other foliage are growing out of the structures.
