About the piece
Painted in 1657 by Johannes Lingelbach, this work depicts a lively market gathered at the base of Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers. The composition masterfully balances the monumental scale of the Egyptian obelisk against the intricate, dark-toned figures of merchants and citizens, all bathed in the warm, late afternoon light characteristic of the Dutch Italianate style.
