EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Old St. Peters" a pen and ink drawing on paper by the renowned artist Maerten van Heemskerck. The artwork, part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of Old Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. Old Saint Peter's Basilica was an iconic structure that once stood where the current basilica stands today. This name has been used to distinguish between the two buildings since the construction of the present-day basilica. Van Heemskerck's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this study, as he skillfully depicts the square facade and exterior of this medieval architectural marvel. The drawing offers a glimpse into daily life during that era, with a charming fountain depicted in front of the basilica. The sketch exudes elements of both Gothic and Neo-Classical styles prevalent in Italian architecture at that time. This historic artwork transports viewers back in time, allowing them to appreciate not only van Heemskerck's artistic talent but also gain insight into Rome's rich cultural heritage. With its intricate lines and masterful composition, this piece serves as a testament to van Heemskerck's ability to capture grandeur through his pen strokes. As we admire this remarkable image from www. bridgemanart. com, let us reflect on how art can preserve history and transport us across centuries with just one glance.
