About This Image

I will never forget my ascent to the top of Saint Peter’s during my trip to Rome. There was an enthusiastic electricity in the air of the crowd I climbed with. Each cramped step inside the dome was filled with huffing, puffing, and laughter. Few of us spoke the same language, but we were united in our excitement as well as our tired feet! And when we at last burst out onto the top of the dome, the aerial view of Saint Peter’s Square below as simply breath-taking! The famous square and the city of Rome literally spread out before us like a miniature model in a museum.

Saint Peter’s Square – or Piazza San Pietro – is an amazing view from above. The baroque square was designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century some decades after the completion of the basilica. The large colonnades encircling the square are meant to represent the open arms of the church while providing a clearly defined space for large gatherings such as Papal audiences and masses. Today the amazing piazza in this print, Saint Peter’s Square, is one of those iconic places you’ve likely seen on TV whether or not you’ve ever been to the Vatican in person.

This print of Saint Peter’s Square still takes me back to that afternoon so many years ago. Whenever I look at this image, I am back there again looking down on the architecture of the Vatican and Rome. The black and white presentation really draws the eyes to the distinct lines of the colonnades and the surrounding Italian cityscape. It has an almost graphic feel doesn’t it?

Have you looked down into Saint Peter’s Square from the roof above or perhaps been down there in the midst of that baroque piazza? Or perhaps you simply love this aerial print of the Vatican and Rome? I hope you might take a second to share your favorite aspect of this black and white print!

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
