EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent colonnades of St. Peter in the Vatican, a masterpiece brought to life by the renowned artist Bernini in 1655. The elliptical plane on which these colonnades stand has become an iconic symbol of Baroque and Rococo architecture. The image is an engraving that was originally published in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" under the direction of Edouard Charton in 1868, Paris. It was created by an unknown artist from the 19th century and now resides in a private collection. The photograph beautifully captures the grandeur and intricate details of this architectural marvel. The columns stretch towards the sky with grace and elegance, creating a sense of awe-inspiring beauty. This depiction serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence. As one gazes upon this print, they are transported back through time to experience Rome's rich history and cultural heritage. It evokes feelings of reverence for its Catholic roots while also appreciating the skillful craftsmanship that went into constructing such an extraordinary structure. Leonard de Selva's photography perfectly preserves this historical moment for all to admire. With its timeless appeal, it reminds us of our connection to past civilizations and invites us to appreciate their enduring contributions to art and architecture.
