EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the heart of Rome, capturing a mesmerizing view of Piazza S. Pietro. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the majestic Vatican obelisk, standing tall and proud in the center. Its ancient presence adds an air of mystery and grandeur to the scene. In the background, we catch a glimpse of Via della Conciliazione, a bustling street that leads towards this iconic square. This composition beautifully showcases the harmonious blend of Baroque and Renaissance architectural styles that define this historic area. The artwork itself dates back to 1656-1667 and is credited to none other than Gian Lorenzo Bernini, one of Italy's most celebrated artists from the Baroque period. His genius shines through in every detail, as he masterfully crafted this fountain with intricate furnishings for civic spaces. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice a charming street lamp casting its warm glow on passersby. It serves as both a functional element and a commemorative piece honoring Rome's rich history. The overall structure exudes timeless beauty while being complemented by hydraulic elements that add movement and life to Piazza San Pietro Square. This vibrant cityscape encapsulates Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. Captured between 1930-1938 by Alinari Fratelli, renowned photographers known for their exceptional talent in capturing urban landscapes, this print allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in Rome's enchanting atmosphere without leaving our present moment.
