EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Giuseppe Pozzi, titled "The Prima Macchina for the Chinea of 1757: The Colonnade of the Athenian Lyceum," offers a breathtaking glimpse into the Baroque era and the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece. The image depicts the exterior of the Athenian Lyceum, an ancient pavilion located in Athens, Greece, which was famously associated with the philosopher Aristotle. In this meticulously detailed etching, Pozzi masterfully captures the grandeur of the Lyceum's colonnade, with its elegant columns and intricate architectural features. The colonnade, which is adorned with figures and decorative elements, appears to be bathed in the soft, warm glow of the sun, adding to the sense of timeless beauty and serenity. The Prima Macchina, or the first machine, is a reference to the innovative printing process used by Pozzi to create this etching. The use of laid paper and the careful application of ink and pressure allowed Pozzi to achieve a level of detail and tonal range that was unprecedented for the time. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of classical architecture and the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage. It is a must-see for anyone with an interest in art, architecture, or the history of Europe and the Mediterranean world. This etching is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
