About the Item
An impressive view of St Peter's Basilica and of the square with the the obelisk and the colonnade, painted from the Spina di Borgo.
After the construction desired by Pope Alexander VI in the imminence of the Jubilee of 1500 of the Via Alessandrina, with the subsequent transformations called Borgo Nuovo by the Romans, the buildings of the Borgo were delimited by two streets (converging in the shape of a wedge) called Borgo Nuovo the one north, and Borgo Vecchio, the one to the south. The result was an urban layout with an elongated triangular shape with the tip facing Castel Sant'Angelo, which, due to its resemblance to that of the spina of a Roman circus, took the name of "Spina di Borgo".In the following centuries there were numerous intentions of the popes aimed at demolishing the plug with projects by well-known architects (among these: Carlo Fontana in 1692, Cosimo Morelli in 1776 and Giuseppe Valadier visible from a drawing from 1812). However, we had to wait until the first decades of the twentieth century to return to concretely discussing the demolition of the spina: the works continued from 1936, when, on the basis of a project developed by Marcello Piacentini and Attilio Spaccarelli, via della Conciliazione was built, until 1950 , on the occasion of the jubilee.

- Grand 19th Century English Marine Painting in Stunning LightBy John Wilson EwbankLocated in London, GBJohn Wilson Ewbank (1799 - 1847) Shipping in the Harbour, South Shields Oil on canvas 39.5 x 58 inches unframed 47.75 x 66.5 inches framed Provenance: Christie's October 2002; Lot 11. Fine Art Society; Private Collection This marvellous up to scale Ewbank is full of light and warmth and almost certainly his greatest work of the sort rarely - if ever - seen on the market. John W. Ewbank (4 May 1799–28 November 1847), was an English-born landscape and marine painter largely operational from Scotland. The Humber river is a large tidal estuary on the east coast of Northern England. Life Ewbank was born at Darlington on 4 May 1799, the son of Michael Ewbank, an innkeeper. He was adopted as a child by a wealthy uncle who lived at Wycliffe, on the banks of the River Tees, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Intended for the Roman Catholic priesthood, he was sent to Ushaw College, from which he absconded. In 1813 Ewbank was apprenticed to Thomas Coulson, an ornamental painter in Newcastle. In around 1816 he moved with Coulson to Edinburgh, where he had some lessons with Alexander Nasmyth. He found work both as a painter and a teacher. He was nominated in 1830 one of the foundation members of the Royal Scottish Academy. In 1833 he is listed as living at 7 Union Street on the eastern fringe of the New Town in Edinburgh. Works His sketches from nature were especially admired, and a series of 51 drawings of Edinburgh by him were engraved by W. H. Lizars for James Browne's Picturesque Views of Edinburgh (1825). He also made a reputation with cabinet pictures of banks of rivers, coast scenes, and marine subjects. As an illustrator he illustrated some early editions of Scott's Waverley Novels and one edition of Gilbert White...Category
