EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century print showcases the awe-inspiring facade of the Church of Our Lady of Peace, also known as Santa Maria della Pace, in Rome, Italy. The Baroque masterpiece was designed by the renowned Italian artist Pietro da Cortona (1596-1669), who expertly blended classical elements with the dynamic energy of the Baroque style. The facade is adorned with intricate details, including ornate columns, elaborate friezes, and intricately carved shields. The central window, framed by two columns, is flanked by statues of saints and angels, while the upper level features a series of windows, each topped with a shield bearing a Latin inscription. The Church of Our Lady of Peace was built between 1650 and 1675, during the height of the Baroque period in Rome. The style is characterized by its grandeur, drama, and use of light and shadow. Pietro da Cortona's design for the church's facade is a prime example of the Baroque aesthetic, with its sweeping curves, bold colors, and intricate details. The Church of Our Lady of Peace has been a significant religious and architectural landmark in Rome for centuries. Its stunning facade continues to draw visitors from around the world, who are captivated by its beauty and historical significance. This print offers a unique glimpse into the rich history and artistic heritage of Rome and the European Baroque tradition.
