The Feast of the Resurrection in Piazza Navona, Rome, 1650

ca. 1650
Not on view
View of the Feast of the Resurrection in Piazza Navona, Rome, during the Jubilee year of 1650. The print shows the Piazza from the south. The celebration and the ephemeral architecture were sponsored by the Spanish community in Rome. The arches and colonnade shown in the print were designed by Carlo Rainaldi (1611-91) who also organized the celebrations. Fireworks are issuing from the structures that enclosed the two fountains in the square and many people parade within and around the perimeter. Numbers and letters along the bottom margin identify the permanent buildings and temporary structures.
