Click on thumbnail for a larger image	Piazza del Popolo Col(umn) Obelisco 1835. Engraving. Some foxing, mostly to margins, but a good print. 8.5" x 6" The Corso emerges onto the splendid oval Piazza del Popolo, which is monumental without being intimidating, a sort of toy theatre stage set magically magnified. Over a period of 300 years, it was constructed as the ceremonial entryway to Rome, and, although its elements are diverse in style and in age (13th century BC-19th century AD), a remarkable harmony prevails. In 1561 the Porta del Popolo, the medieval gate in the city wall, was rebuilt. Ninety-four years later its inner face was redone by Bernini for the grand entrance of Queen Christina, who had abandoned the Protestant throne of Sweden for the Catholic hospitality of Rome. In 1589 Pope Sixtus V punctuated the plaza centre with an obelisk (13th century BC) brought by Augustus from Heliopolis to the Circus Maximus. Print ID# 800013 $125.00
