67 Giacomo Lauro (1584–1645) – The Isola Tiberina – Formerly the Tempio di Giove Licaonio, Now the Island of Saint Bartholomew – Hand-Coloured Copperplate Engraving (17th Century)
This finely detailed hand-coloured copperplate engraving by Giacomo Lauro presents The Isola Tiberina, once known as the Tempio di Giove Licaonio and later transformed into the Island of Saint Bartholomew. The depiction is rendered in a stylized manner, portraying the island as a monumental ship with the Temple of Aesculapius (T. Esculapii) and the Temple of Jupiter (T. Fauni), reflecting its ancient role as a sanctuary of healing. The bridge (P. Fabricio), one of Rome's oldest still-standing bridges, is prominently illustrated, symbolizing the island's connection to the city's historical and architectural legacy.
Giacomo Lauro (1584–1645) was an Italian engraver and antiquarian based in Rome, celebrated for his precise and imaginative architectural engravings. His work captured the grandeur of ancient Roman monuments and urban landscapes, making his illustrations invaluable for historical documentation. His series of engravings, known as Antiquae Urbis Splendor, detailed the classical ruins and significant landmarks of Rome, contributing significantly to the preservation of architectural memory.
