About the piece

Painted around 1600 by Louis de Caullery, this oil on copper work depicts St. Peter's Square during the election of Pope Clement VIII in 1592. The composition masterfully balances the architectural grandeur of the Vatican, including the Vatican Obelisk and the partially completed St. Peter's Basilica, with a lively, detailed foreground of spectators and ornate carriages.
