EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Ken Welsh, we are transported back in time to the 17th century, where we find ourselves standing in awe of the magnificent St Peter's Square, St Peter's Basilica, and the Vatican. This historical illustration, based on a print by Giovanni Battista Falda, takes us on a journey through Rome's rich history. As our eyes wander across the image, we are struck by the grandeur of St Peter's Square. The vast open space is adorned with elegant fountains and surrounded by majestic colonnades designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It is as if time has stood still since its completion in 1667. The focal point of this breathtaking scene is undoubtedly St Peter's Basilica itself. Its iconic dome rises proudly into the sky, showcasing its architectural brilliance and spiritual significance. Every intricate detail of this sacred place seems to come alive in this vintage engraving - from the ornate façade to the statues adorning its rooftop. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies an immense historical significance that cannot be overlooked. This archival picture allows us to appreciate how centuries of devotion have shaped one of Italy's most cherished landmarks. Ken Welsh skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect upon our own connection with history and spirituality. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of artistry, it serves as a reminder that some things transcend time - beauty, faith, and human ingenuity among them. This print transports us effortlessly into another era while reminding us that even amidst change and progress, there will always be timeless wonders like St Peter’s Square waiting for us to explore their pasts and embrace their enduring legacies
