The foreground activity is in many ways more intriguing and captivating than the main event. The energetic throng plays an equal role with the architecture, and Panini seems to have relished the opportunity to depict a wide variety of characters. Elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen stand among market traders and other humble bystanders, their gestures and outfits accented by bright sunlight.
Panini was the greatest view painter in eighteenth-century Rome and this is considered to be one of his most accomplished works.
