Philippe Benoist frames the gate as both architectural landmark and threshold between city and countryside, capturing the rhythm of daily movement. Issued between 1867 and 1869 for “Rome dans sa Grandeur,” the plate belongs to the section devoted to modern Rome. The Porta del Popolo had long welcomed pilgrims and Grand Tour travelers, and Benoist’s depiction reflects its symbolic role as Rome’s ceremonial gateway. Architectural detail, careful perspective, and subtle tinting combine to create a balanced and inviting scene. This print is ideal for collectors of Roman urban history, travel imagery, and architectural views. Condition report: Light toning; small areas of foxing in margins; image clean and well preserved. Framing tips: Neutral mat with a classic wood or black frame. Keywords: Porta del Popolo print, Rome city gate, Roman architecture view, Benoist lithograph, 19th century travel art See less
