Artist
Paolo Anesi
Paolo Anesi is a Baroque artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.
Paolo Anesi painted sweeping views of Rome in the 1700s, stacking its domes, columns, and ruins into one grand postcard. Two of his works here show the Vatican rising above the Tiber River and the crumbling pillars of an ancient temple, both glowing under soft Italian light. His brush kept the city’s quiet corners alive long after the empire fell. Next, tap into the ruins of Rome Veche to stand beside his columns yourself.
