Painting Description
"Plan of the ruins at Sardis with vestiges of ancient buildings still existing in 1750" is a historical illustration by Giovanni Battista Borra, an Italian architect, engineer, and draftsman active in the 18th century. This detailed plan is a significant work that documents the remnants of the ancient city of Sardis, located in what is now western Turkey. Sardis was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia and later became an important Roman city. By the time Borra created his plan, the city had long been in ruins, but his work provides valuable insights into the layout and surviving architecture of the site as it stood in the mid-18th century.
Borra was known for his meticulous drawings and plans, often accompanying exploratory expeditions to document archaeological sites and architectural wonders. His work at Sardis was part of a larger endeavor to record the antiquities of the region, which was a subject of great interest in Europe during the period of the Grand Tour and the burgeoning field of archaeology. The plan includes detailed renderings of the remaining structures, such as the temple of Artemis, Roman-era buildings, and the city's fortifications, offering a snapshot of the site's condition before modern excavations.
The "Plan of the ruins at Sardis with vestiges of ancient buildings still existing in 1750" not only serves as an important historical record but also reflects the Enlightenment's growing interest in classical antiquity and the systematic study of the past. Borra's work contributed to the knowledge of ancient civilizations and influenced the neoclassical artistic and architectural movements of his time. Today, the plan is a valuable resource for historians and archaeologists, providing a baseline for understanding the changes and conservation efforts at the site over the past centuries.
