Questa dell'Arco di Tito è certamente una delle più celebri acqueforti realizzate da Giambattista Piranesi e più in generale una delle più rappresentative dell'epoca del Grand Tour. La veduta è infatti un meraviglioso esempio di, perfetto equilibrio tra precisione nella descrizione del monumento raffigurato e potenza evocativa dell'ambientazione, Piranesi infatti si mostra attentissimo alla restituzione fedele della struttura e del dettagli decorativi dell'Arco, ma allo stesso tempo forza la raffigurazione della reale prospettiva del resto dello scenario, utilizzando un trucco per mostrare simultaneamente nella stessa inquadratura più monumenti possibili dell'area del Foro Romano.

Il PARCO di Piranesi
è un itinerario nel PArCo tra le vedute del grande architetto veneto, realizzato in occasione del trecentenario della sua nascita.

between a precise description of the monument in question and the evocative power of its setting. Piranesi takes the utmost care to faithfully depict the arch's structure and its decorative details, while at the same time forcing the actual perspective of the rest of the scene, using a trick to simultaneously include the greatest possible number of monuments from the Roman Forum area within the same composition.

Piranesi's PARCO
is a tour through the PArCo of the views captured by the great Venetian architect, organized in celebration of the 300th anniversary of his birth.

Erected by Il PARCO di Piranesi.
