EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, 1702" takes us on a journey through time to the heart of Rome. The artist behind this masterpiece is Alessandro Specchi, a renowned Italian engraver from the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The print showcases the rear view of the magnificent Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, an iconic Roman Catholic church that has stood as a symbol of faith and architectural brilliance for centuries. Its classical design and grandeur are beautifully captured in this artwork. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the imposing apse and facade of the basilica. The intricate details adorning its exterior speak volumes about the craftsmanship involved in its construction. We can also spot the Esquilino Obelisk towering proudly nearby on Esquiline Hill, adding another layer of historical significance to this scene. The square surrounding the basilica comes alive with activity - people going about their daily lives against a backdrop steeped in history. It's as if time stands still within these walls while life continues outside them. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both religious devotion and architectural marvels that have shaped Rome throughout its rich past. It invites us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within but also contemplate how such structures have influenced countless generations over time.
