Unknown Author - View of Piazza del Popolo, Rome

The subject of this print can be connected to the genre of Vedutismo.
Vedutismo was born in the 18th century and developed mainly in Venice.
Landscape painters aimed to represent a landscape in an objective manner
and scientific, placing him as the protagonist of the work. Fundamentally
There are two types of views: the realistic one, taken as is from reality,
and the “capriccio”, a fantasy view invented by the painter. Vedutismo is a
genre that is still popular in artistic production, re-proposed by
artists with new forms and new customizations. It has spread
particularly in the production of prints where there is an abundance of
representations of city views or other buildings in which it is emphasized
the architectural element inserted in a rigorous perspective.

The work fully respects its high illustrative and didactic commitment.
to report the city view in every single architectural detail and
journalistic. The technique, in fact, is extraordinary, in its rigorous
perspective setting and in detecting every detail with refinement
miniaturist. The direction of the light that cuts the space in
suggestive flashes. The real peculiarity of these prints is that, looking at them
closer, we come to discover that the perfection of the buildings and streets
it is actually constructed from a dense hatching that makes the objects alive and vibrant.

From the analysis of the style (a quick graphic stroke) and the subject (a view
(a town with a distinctly journalistic and architectural character) the artist
the author of the work can be defined as a continuator of the tradition of the
Vedutismo. We are therefore faced with an 18th century artist gifted with
of a solid academic education, which provided him with a
remarkable technique that allows him to obtain a perfect naturalistic rendering
and an objective precision in representing the subject in a work
engraving.
