Rossini's Rome: The Recordings of a Neo-Classical Etcher March 2 - May 20, 2007
This exhibition will showcase a series of etchings by the nineteenth century Italian artist Luigi Rossini (1790-1857). Formally educated as both an etcher and an architect, Rossini compiled this group of etchings between 1819 and 1823. The series beautifully represents his mastering of both etching and architectural draftsmanship as he recorded the excavation of Roman ruins. Views of specific sites throughout Rome are included with images of the Colosseum, the Basilica of Maxenitus & Constantine, the Pantheon, and Capitoline Hill.
Visit the Center's website or call 276-628-5005 for current exhibits.

These days Charles Vess is as busy as a dog with a yard full of bones. One way to keep up with him is to check his blog at Green Man Press. Beautiful illustrations, cool links, and the latest on Charles' exhibits, books and (yes) movie projects.
