About the piece
Painted in 1840 by Olof Johan Södermark, this evocative work depicts a group of 'pifferari' (traditional Italian bagpipers) in the streets of Rome. The scene is masterfully lit by a hanging lantern, creating a dramatic chiaroscuro effect that highlights the figures against the silhouette of the Pantheon and a tiered fountain in the background.
