EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving captures a momentous event in the history of Rome - the dedication ceremony of the Obelisk in front of the Basilica of San Giovanni Laterano. In this remarkable print, we witness Pope Sixtus V being carried on an ornate litter, surrounded by his guards and soldiers. The year is 1588, and the atmosphere is charged with adulation as the pontiff makes his way towards the towering ancient obelisk. Pope Sixtus V, born Felice Peretti di Montalto, was known for his ambitious urban planning projects that aimed to transform Rome into a grand city befitting its illustrious past. This dedication ceremony was one such endeavor, where he sought to restore and honor Rome's rich heritage by erecting this monumental obelisk. The engraving showcases not only Pope Sixtus V's regal presence but also highlights elements of Renaissance splendor through intricate details like his armor and coat of arms. As he kneels before the obelisk on a lavishly decorated throne, it becomes evident that this event holds great significance for both him and his family. This historic image from Bridgeman Images allows us to glimpse into a moment frozen in time - a powerful pope paying homage to an ancient artifact while surrounded by loyal followers. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence during this transformative period in European history.
