Description
Etching, 1658 circa, lettered in cartouche upper left 'Prospetiva della Chiesa di Sta Maria della Pace di Roma'. Along bottom 'Petrus Berrettin Corton Arch / Dominicus Barriere Marsilien delin et sculp' followed by Alexander's name and 'Jo. Jacobus de Rubeis'.
EXTREMELY RARE work showing the façade of Santa Maria della Pace's church, with Pope Alexander VII and his suite on the square.
The work probably dates back to 1658, when D. Barriere engraved a reduced version, with some variations, for the third edition of the guide “Roma ricercata nel suo sito” by Fioravante Martinelli (1599-1667), published in Rome by G. G. de Rossi in 1658 (the first edition in 1644).
A great impression, printed on contemporary laid paper, with wide margins, perfect condition. A very rare work.
Dominique BARRIERE (Marsiglia, 1618; Roma, 18 Settembre 1678).

French etcher and architectural designer. He arrived in Rome around 1640 where he settled permanently among its community of French artists. No records exist of his training, but his earliest etchings (1640–47) are historical and mythological scenes, such as the Battle of Bommel in 1585 (1640) after Guglielmo Cortese and Apollo and Python (c. 1647–52) after Domenichino’s painting for the Villa Aldobrandini, Frascati.
