EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print showcases the masterful work of Italian artist Domenico Guidi, depicting an Angel with a Spear atop the Sant'Angelo Bridge in Rome. The bridge, a significant historical landmark, has been a symbol of Roman power and protection since its construction in the 14th century. The centerpiece of this print is the striking figure of the Angel, carved in marble with an ethereal beauty that transcends time. The Angel, adorned with wings, holds a spear aloft, a symbol of divine intervention and protection. The spear, tipped with a cross, represents the power of the Christian faith, which has long been intertwined with the history of Rome. The Baroque design of the Angel, with its intricate details and dynamic movement, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the period. The figure's muscular form and the delicate folds of its wings are expertly rendered, creating a sense of both strength and grace. The Angel stands atop the bridge, gazing out over the city, a sentinel guarding against harm. The bridge, with its elegant arches and winding pathways, stretches out behind the figure, adding depth and context to the scene. The print, a beautiful example of Italian art from the Baroque era, invites us to reflect on the rich history of Rome and the enduring power of faith and protection. The Angel with a Spear remains a beloved symbol of the city and a testament to the artistic vision of Domenico Guidi.
