EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching with brown wash that beautifully captures the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic Roman landmark. Created by Agostino Tofanelli and engraved by Pietro Fontana, this print showcases the basilica's stunning interior, adorned with magnificent ionic columns, a soaring nave, and an intricately coffered ceiling. The image transports us to a solemn moment within the basilica as we witness a procession of monks led by papal figures. The scene is filled with reverence and spirituality as they make their way towards the ornate baldacchino under which stands the seda gestatoria. Every detail in this engraving has been meticulously rendered, from the architrave to the flabella held by attendants. This artwork not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also provides valuable insights into Rome's rich history. The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore dates back to Pope Sixtus III in the fifth century and remains one of Rome's most significant religious sites. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Italian artistry at its finest. With its intricate details and masterful technique, it is no wonder that "The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore" continues to captivate audiences even after centuries since its creation.
