Description:
Fine c.18th vue Optic of Fontana di Trevi, the most famous of all the fountains in Rome. It was designed by the architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini. It’s name derives from the Latin word Trivium (intersection of three streets); De ‘Crocicchi Street, Poli Street and Delle Muratte Street.
Vue Optic:Â During the c.18th “vues d’optique” became extremely popular in England and Europe. They capitalised on a market eager for the latest novelty. They were specifically designed to create the illusion of perspective when viewed with a zograscope or perspective glass. These viewing devices used a series of reflecting mirrors to enhance the illusion of depth in the print, creating a veritable “view” for the onlooker.
