Description: Antique etching in custom frame... print is 8.5 x 6 framed 15 x 11 inches Information taken from internet site; This is one of the best known views of Rome, but Giuseppe Vasi was not the first one to depict it in 1754; Gaspar Van Wittel (1653-1736), a Dutch landscape painter who spent most of his life in Rome painted this view of the River Tiber in the 1690s (it opens in another window). Vasi chose a point of observation closer to Ponte S. Angelo than Van Wittel and his etching provides a more detailed view of Piazza di Ponte, the square which was located at the beginning of the bridge; Vasi shows to the far left Cappella della Conforteria where those sentenced to death were comforted prior to the execution which took place in a corner of the square; the chapel belonged to Arciconfraternita della Misericordia, a brotherhood of the Florentines who lived in Rome in a nearby neighbourhood. You may wish to see an 1830 view of the bridge by J.M. William Turner.
