Thirty-six of these images were copied by Aegidius Sadeler from Etienne Du Pérac's " Vestigi dell'Antichità di Roma" Rome 1575. For the other images Sadeler drew on drawings by Jan Breughel the elder and Pieter Stevens. Marco Sadeler whose name appears on the plates was an engraver and print seller in Prague in the early 1600's and probably the nephew of Aegidius. In the middle of the 17th century a copy of the 1606 edition found its way to Rome where it was copied for Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi by Girolamo Ferri and published in 1660.<br /><br />In this series the artists have depicted the ancient monuments of Rome Tivoli and Pozzuoli as they appeared in the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century: crowned with vegetation half-buried by the rising ground level and encroached upon by a host of post-Roman structures. The scenes are alive with Rome's inhabitants: herdsmen mule-drivers cattle sheep and every manner of citizen. The images in which the ruins are depicted in their un-restored state and within the context of their early modern environments serve as a record of the monuments as they appeared in this period and evoke the atmosphere of daily life in early modern Rome.<br /><br />Sadeler and The Bay of Naples: <br /><br />In addition to the views of Rome the Sadeler series also includes a number of plates of ruins and views of the Bay of Naples and its environs: the Gulf of Baiae Cuma Lago Averno the Campi Flegrei Capo Miseno and the Villa Agrippina at Oplontis and other places within the confines of Pozzuoli.</p><p>Cicognara 3871; Hollstein.
