EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Piazza Navona Flooded" takes us back to the 17th century in Rome, Italy. Painted by an Italian artist from that era, it depicts a unique event that used to take place in this iconic square. The Piazza Navona has always been a hub of activity and entertainment throughout history. From theatrical performances to other ephemeral activities, it has witnessed countless cultural events. However, what makes this painting truly remarkable is the elaborate celebration organized by the Pamphilj family from 1652 until 1866. Every Saturday and Sunday in August during those years, the piazza would be transformed into a stunning spectacle as it was flooded with water. This grand festival brought together locals and visitors alike who marveled at the sight of an underwater cityscape amidst magnificent architecture. In this artwork, we see the famous Bernini's Fountain of Four Rivers partially submerged under water while people enjoy this extraordinary experience. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes bring life to every detail captured on canvas. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but marvel at how such celebrations were orchestrated centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of Rome's rich history and its ability to captivate through artistry and innovation.
