Church of S. Cosimato in Travestevere c. 19th century

Editor: This is Bartolomeo Pinelli's "Church of S. Cosimato in Trastevere." It's a print, and the scene feels so alive, even though it's not a photograph! What's your take on this piece? Curator: It whispers stories, doesn’t it? Pinelli, bless his heart, was all about capturing the spirit of Rome. He wasn't just drawing buildings; he was painting a portrait of Roman life, gritty and real, with every line. Do you see the everyday folk milling about? Editor: Yes! It’s like a snapshot in time. A bit romantic, too. Curator: Absolutely. There's a touch of the romantic, but also a deep love for the everyday. He makes you feel the city’s pulse, doesn't he? A city layered with history and still breathing in his time. Editor: I hadn’t thought about it that way. Thanks for opening my eyes! Curator: My pleasure! It's all about seeing, feeling, and letting the art do its magic.
