Landscape View Of St. Peter's Basilica Oil Paint Rome Grand Tour Style 19th

after 1800

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.

  • Cloudy landscape. Oil sketch on cardboard. Unsigned.
    By Jules Pierre van Biesbroeck
    Located in Paris, FR
    Cloudy landscape. Oil sketch on cardboard. Unsigned. This work will be recorded in the catalogue raisonné of the work of the artist currently in preparation. Jules Van Biesbroeck was the son of Jules Evariste van Biesbroeck, a painter of Ghent, but was born in Italy, in Portici, near Naples, while his parents were staying there. (In the 19th century many artists made educational trips to Italy). It was a long visit: the child was two years old by the time the family returned to Ghent.[1] After a short period of practice with his father, van Biesbroeck was enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. His first painting, "The Shepherd" (French: Le pâtre), was sold at the Triennale in Ghent. In 1888, when he was only 15 years old, he made his debut at the "Salon des Champs-Elysées" in Paris with his monumental work "The Launch of the Argo" (French: Le lancement...
