About the piece

Painted around 1660 by Dutch artist Johannes Lingelbach, this work captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Piazza del Popolo in Rome. The composition expertly balances grand architecture—including the Flaminio Obelisk and the church of Santa Maria del Popolo—with intimate genre scenes of travelers, street performers, and locals.
