Beskrivning

This print features a technical architectural elevation of a triple triumphal arch, modeled after the Arch of Septimius Severus in Rome, showcasing the monumental scale and complex masonry of classical Roman engineering. The woodcut illustrates the proportional relationship between the large central archway and the smaller flanking bays, all framed by composite columns and a heavy attic story intended for commemorative inscriptions.

Sebastiano Serlio was an influential Italian Mannerist architect and theorist whose multi-volume treatise, Tutte l'opere d'architettura et prospettiva, standardized the classical orders and disseminated Italian Renaissance style throughout Europe by providing accessible visual models of ancient ruins.
