Etching on cream laid paper, 6 3/4 x 10 3/4 (172 x 273 mm); sheet 7 1/4 x 11 inches (185 x 280 mm), margins. In good condition with some minor skinning, toning and areas of light discoloration on the verso. All condition issues are consistent with age. Plate No. 10 from Twelve Landscapes. [Bartsch 93]. This landscape belongs to a suite of twelve landscape etchings featuring Roman ruins that the artist himself published. It features a monumental ruin, perhaps inspired by the Baths of Caracalla, but placed in a more bucolic setting. Van Swanevelt's handling of the etching needle is particularly lively. A rich play of light pervades the image: dark foreground shadows, sun-drenched walls, others in half light, and beautifully rendered atmospheric perspective in the sky and background.
