Carl Max Gerlach Quaedvlieg
(Valkenburg 1823–1874 Rome)
Rome, Piazza Barberini, signed, dated Ch. Quaedvlieg Roma 1864, oil on canvas, 51 x 65 cm, framed, (GG)
Provenance:
Sotheby’s New York, 28 June 2001, lot 372;
Private Collection Italy.
The painting depicts the nineteenth-century urban layout of Piazza Barberini, where the viewer can make out the access route leading to the vineyard attached to the villa of Pope Sixtus V (Felice Peretti di Monsalto), now destroyed. The centre of the square is home to the Triton Fountain, made by Gian Lorenzo Bernini between 1642 and 1643. The Barberini Palace, in the lateral wing created by Carlo Maderno, can be seen to the right-hand side in the background. This urban harmony was overwhelmed at the beginning of the twentieth century by development in the area, which led to the construction of several multi-storey building complexes. These new buildings abruptly shattered the balance that had been established between the seventeenth-century buildings, the Triton Fountain and the Barberini Palace.
