"Ostia" is a notable etching by the Scottish artist David Young Cameron, created in 1913. Cameron, who was born in 1865 and passed away in 1945, is renowned for his etchings and paintings that often depict architectural and landscape subjects with a distinctive style that combines meticulous detail with a sense of atmospheric depth. "Ostia" exemplifies Cameron's skill in capturing the essence of historical sites through his etching technique.

The etching portrays the ancient Roman port city of Ostia, which served as the harbor city of ancient Rome. Ostia Antica, as it is known today, is located at the mouth of the Tiber River and was a bustling commercial hub during its peak. Cameron's depiction of Ostia is characterized by its intricate line work and the evocative use of light and shadow, which bring the ruins and the historical significance of the site to life. His attention to architectural details and the texture of the stone structures showcases his mastery in the medium of etching.

David Young Cameron was a prominent figure in the Scottish art scene and was associated with the Glasgow School. His works are celebrated for their technical precision and their ability to convey a sense of place and history. "Ostia" is a testament to Cameron's fascination with historical architecture and his ability to translate that fascination into compelling visual art. The etching is part of a broader body of work that includes landscapes and architectural studies from various locations, reflecting Cameron's extensive travels and his keen interest in the built environment.

"Ostia" remains an important piece within Cameron's oeuvre, illustrating his contribution to the art of etching and his role in the early 20th-century revival of printmaking.
