Gezicht op een obelisk, een triomfboog, een zuil en andere bouwwerken te Rome 1756

"Gezicht op een obelisk, een triomfboog, een zuil en andere bouwwerken te Rome" (View of an obelisk, a triumphal arch, a column and other buildings in Rome) is a 1756 print by English artist Robert Sayer, depicting a bustling Roman square. The scene features a large open space lined with classical architecture, including an obelisk, a triumphal arch, a column, and a temple. The print showcases Sayer's skill in architectural drawing and the use of perspective to create a sense of depth and grandeur. The inclusion of figures in the foreground further emphasizes the scale of the buildings and adds a sense of life to the scene. This artwork is a testament to Sayer's interest in the aesthetics of Classical antiquity and his ability to capture the beauty of architectural monuments. It serves as a window into the world of 18th-century European art and the fascination with ancient Rome that was prevalent during the Enlightenment.
