Artist
Gottfried Semper 1803 – 1879
About the work
The famous architect and art theorist Gottfried Semper, who studied architecture in Paris under Franz Gau in 1827/28, undertook an extended educational tour through Italy and Greece from 1830 to 1834. From 30 November 1830 to 18 February 1831 Semper stayed in Rome, where he was able to study and compare important buildings dating from ancient Rome and the Renaissance. The meticulously rendered drawing Janus Arch in Rome was most likely done during that time. Our gaze is directed through the ancient structure towards the entrance area of the church of San Giorgio in Velabro.
