Why I like it

• This painting is very beautiful. It shows such a picturesque seen of the powerful city of Rome. Even though there are many pictures of the city Rome, this one stands out to me the most.

Why I like it

• This painting is amazing in so many ways. The melting clocks mean something to me but I don’t know what. The whole setting reminds me of the desert in the roadrunner and coyote TV show. It It looks like all time has stopped in the picture, but overall the whole way the scene looks just makes it looks so picturesque and makes you wonder where it is taking place and why the clocks are melting
