EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, standing proudly on the remnants of the ancient Circus of Nero. Created by Agostino Tofanelli in 1833, this etching with brown wash captures the grandeur and historical significance of this iconic structure. Engraved by Pietro Fontana, this image is part of a collection called "Recueil des vues au bister dessinees et lavees par Callimachus" which depicts various antiquities and curiosities of Rome and its surroundings. The print also highlights Pope Pius VII's efforts to restore and renovate St. Peter's Square during his papacy from 1800 to 1823. The photograph beautifully captures the baroque architecture, including the dome, facade, colonnades, and fountains that adorn this religious masterpiece. It also features a carriage procession within one of Bernini's famous colonnades. With its rich history and association with counter-reformation movements within Roman Catholicism, St. Peter's Basilica remains an awe-inspiring symbol of faith and architectural brilliance. This print serves as a testament to both its spiritual significance and artistic beauty. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this particular image from Bridgeman Images allows viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind Tofanelli's work but also experience a glimpse into Rome's cultural heritage through an engraving that has stood the test of time.
