73 Jan Goeree (1670–1731) – Thermae Neronianae et Alexandrinae – Engraving (Early 18th Century)
This finely executed engraving, titled Thermae Neronianae et Alexandrinae, was created by the Dutch engraver and artist Jan Goeree. The composition presents a detailed representation of the Roman baths of Nero and Alexander, capturing both their grand architectural structure and the remnants of their ruins. The engraving is divided into two main sections: the upper portion shows the imagined complete form of the baths, framed with drapery and ornamental foliage, symbolizing the architectural grandeur of ancient Rome. The lower section illustrates the surviving ruins with precise attention to arches, columns, and decayed stonework. On the right, a Roman medallion featuring Emperor Augustus serves as a reminder of the historical context.
This engraving is part of a series dedicated to Roman architectural studies, reflecting the European fascination with antiquity during the Baroque period. Jan Goeree, known for his architectural and allegorical engravings, played a significant role in the visual documentation of ancient Roman heritage. His works often combined historical accuracy with decorative flourish, characteristic of the early 18th-century artistic approach.
