Giuseppe Vasi (1710-1782) - Porta Angelica
Title: Giuseppe Vasi (1710–1782) - Porta Angelica, Rome - 19th Century Etching
Description
An authentic 19th-century etching/engraving by the renowned Italian architect and engraver Giuseppe Vasi, taken from his monumental series "Delle Magnificenze di Roma Antica e Moderna" (The Magnificences of Ancient and Modern Rome).
This specific plate depicts the Porta Angelica, a former gate in the Leonine Walls of Vatican City. The composition showcases Vasi’s signature mastery of perspective and architectural detail. In the background, the Casino di Belvedere and the long corridors connecting it to the Vatican Palace are clearly visible, bathed in dramatic radial sunlight.
The scene is enriched with charming "veduta" elements: a shepherd with sheep in the foreground and figures in period attire, offering a vivid glimpse into the daily atmosphere of Rome in the 1700s.
