Piazza Navona te Rome 1693 - 1717

This is "Piazza Navona in Rome", made by Gommarus Wouters, a meticulously rendered print. The composition draws us into the scene with a wide-angle perspective, typical of the period. The colour palette favors muted tones, creating a sense of depth and space. The buildings are depicted with careful attention to architectural details, typical of the late 17th century. The structural repetition of windows and cornices not only constructs the buildings but also orders the pictorial space. Wouters uses line and form to build a sense of order and clarity, essential in conveying the grandeur of Roman architecture. The artwork invites us to consider how structures shape our perceptions and understandings, inviting dialogue and diverse interpretations.
