EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Fontana dell Acqua Paola, Rome" an oil on canvas masterpiece by Gaspar van Wittel. The painting measures 51x107 cm and is held in a private collection. "The Fontana dell Acqua Paola, also known as Il Fontanone ('The big fountain'), is a monumental fountain situated on the Janiculum Hill in Rome, Italy. Constructed in 1612 to commemorate the completion of the Acqua Paola aqueduct restoration under Pope Paul V, this magnificent baroque structure derived its name from him. As depicted in this artwork, the Fontana dell Acqua Paola stands proudly on the right bank of the River Tiber and serves as a significant landmark within Rome's cityscape. Its architectural grandeur perfectly captures the essence of Baroque era design. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hillsides, this panoramic image transports viewers back to early 18th century Europe during its golden age. The artist skillfully portrays both the beauty of nature and man-made marvels through his brushstrokes. Incorporating elements such as people enjoying their day outdoors and garden features surrounding the fountain further enhances its allure. This painting not only immortalizes an architectural gem but also invites us to appreciate Rome's rich history and artistic heritage. "
