About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Michiel Sweerts, this work captures the intersection of monumental history and everyday life in Rome. The composition centers on the obelisk and fountain in the Piazza Navona, while the foreground is populated by merchants and local residents rendered with the artist's characteristic sensitivity to light and human interaction.
