"The Sack of Rome in 1527" is a historical painting by the German artist Johannes Lingelbach, who was known for his Baroque-style works. Lingelbach was born in 1622 in Frankfurt and later moved to Amsterdam, where he became influenced by Dutch Golden Age painting. Although primarily recognized for his genre scenes and landscapes, Lingelbach occasionally depicted historical events, with "The Sack of Rome in 1527" being a notable example.

The painting captures the chaos and brutality of the May 6, 1527, event when mutinous troops of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, predominantly composed of German Landsknechte as well as Spanish and Italian soldiers, stormed and pillaged the city of Rome. This catastrophic event marked the end of the Renaissance in the Italian city and had profound implications for the papacy.

In Lingelbach's depiction, the viewer is presented with a dramatic and vivid portrayal of the violence and destruction that unfolded. The artist's attention to detail in the composition conveys the horror and pandemonium experienced by the inhabitants of Rome during the sack. Lingelbach's use of color, light, and shadow enhances the emotional impact of the scene, making it a powerful historical record as well as a work of art.

The painting serves as a testament to Lingelbach's skill in historical storytelling through art and offers insight into the 17th-century perspective on a pivotal moment in 16th-century European history. "The Sack of Rome in 1527" is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the visual documentation of historical events. The work is an important part of Lingelbach's oeuvre and stands as a poignant reminder of the atrocities of war and its effects on civilization.
