EDITORS COMMENTS
This fresco print titled "Removal of the Obelisk from the Circus of Nero" takes us back to 16th century Rome, showcasing a significant moment in history. The artwork depicts a scene filled with bustling activity as labourers meticulously work together to relocate an ancient obelisk from its original location at the Circus of Nero. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every aspect of this monumental task. A wooden scaffold stands tall against the neoclassical architecture, providing support for workers who skillfully maneuver ropes and pulleys. The mural showcases the sheer strength and determination required for such an endeavor. Pope Sixtus V's decision to move the obelisk to St. Peter's Square is highlighted in this masterpiece, paying homage to his vision and ambition. Domenico Fontana's ingenious method for transportation is also depicted, emphasizing his engineering prowess. The decorative border framing this painting adds an ornate touch, enhancing its Renaissance charm. Every brushstroke tells a story of Roman history and architectural marvels that have stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this print by Giuliano Valsecchi, we are transported back in time, witnessing not only a physical relocation but also experiencing the spirit and dedication that went into preserving ancient treasures for future generations.
