This steel engraving, based on a composition by Lawrence Alma-Tadema, reflects the building art and intellectual discipline of Roman civilization. The engraving depicts an architect or statesman in a pensive stance amidst marble blocks and scaffolding. The figure suggests that Roman architecture possessed not only a technical but also a philosophical and aesthetic dimension.
