This obelisk, originally from the Mausoleum of Augustus, adds to the historical depth and grandeur of the scene.

Maria Maggiore With The Obelisk In The Piazza Dell' Esquilino," Piranesi employs his signature technique of dramatic contrasts between light and shadow, enhancing the three-dimensional effect and bringing the scene to life.
