EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bernini's original plan for St. Peter's Square in Rome, as depicted in an engraving by Giovanni Battista Falda. The intricate design, created by the renowned Italian architect and sculptor Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini, is a testament to his genius and mastery of Baroque architecture. The image captures the grandeur and elegance of this iconic square, which serves as the entrance to St. Peter's Basilica and is considered one of the most magnificent public spaces in the world. The colonnade that surrounds the square is a remarkable feat of engineering, with its sweeping curves and rows of columns creating a sense of harmony and balance. It is interesting to note that while this engraving portrays Bernini's original vision for St. Peter's Square, not all elements were fully realized. The center section of the colonnade was never completed according to his plans but was redesigned between 1656-67. This print offers viewers a glimpse into history, allowing us to appreciate Bernini's innovative designs and envision what could have been if his entire plan had come to fruition. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by great artists like Bernini who continue to inspire architects and designers today.
