EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Piazza del Popolo in Rome, Italy, circa 1880. The square was meticulously designed by Giuseppe Valadier between 1811 and 1822, showcasing his architectural brilliance. In this particular view of the square, our attention is immediately drawn to the majestic Ancient Egyptian obelisk that stands tall at its center. This remarkable obelisk dates all the way back to the reign of Rameses II, adding a touch of ancient history to this bustling cityscape. Flanking either side of the obelisk are two magnificent twin churches - Santa Maria in Montesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli. These stunning baroque structures were built during different periods; Santa Maria in Montesanto from 1662-1675 and Santa Maria dei Miracoli from 1675-1679 respectively. Their grand domes and intricate details exemplify the beauty of Italian religious architecture. As we take in this engraving brought to life with vibrant colors, we can imagine ourselves amidst a lively crowd enjoying their day on this historic piazza. The mix of seventeenth-century buildings alongside nineteenth-century additions creates an enchanting blend of architectural styles that define Rome's rich heritage. This print serves as a testament to both human creativity and cultural preservation, capturing a moment frozen in time for generations to come. It allows us to appreciate not only Rome's iconic landmarks but also its ability to seamlessly merge ancient history with modern life
