St. Peter’s Square, Rome, with an Allegory of the Triumph of the Papacy” (1757) by Giovanni Paolo Pannini is a masterpiece that combines architectural perspective with allegorical symbolism. At the center of the scene stands the monumental St. Peter’s Square, with the basilica and Bernini’s colonnade depicted in great detail and precision. The artist populates the square with animated figures, bringing the scene to life and emphasizing the vitality of 18th-century Rome.
However, the presence of allegorical elements, such as celestial figures and symbols of the Church, transforms the view into a celebration of the papacy’s spiritual and temporal power. The work reflects the pride of the Church and the grandeur of the Baroque, offering a vision that is both theatrical and celebratory of papal Rome.
