About the piece
This exquisite work by Paul Bril, painted on copper around 1600, captures the Forum Romanum as a site of both historical grandeur and everyday life. Amidst the iconic columns of the Temple of Castor and Pollux, peasants, travelers, and animals traverse the landscape, blending the antique world with the contemporary reality of the artist's time.
