From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Temple of Concord and Roman Forum is a 1656 ink by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a large, ancient structure with a tall archway and columns. In the foreground, people are gathered around the base of the structure, with some sitting or standing and others walking. The background features a cityscape with buildings and trees. A notable detail is the intricate carvings on the columns, which add to the overall sense of grandeur and history. The etching technique used to create the painting gives it a sense of depth and texture. If you're interested in exploring more works from this period, you might want to look into the Baroque movement.
