Bouw van een muur in de Tiber Possibly 1677 - 1696

"Bouw van een muur in de Tiber" (Construction of a Wall in the Tiber) is an etching by Giovanni Battista Falda, a prolific Italian architect and engraver of the 17th century. The etching depicts a detailed view of the construction of a wall along the Tiber River in Rome. Falda’s engravings, including this one, are known for their precision and realism, offering viewers a glimpse into the daily life and architectural projects of the era. The work is a valuable document of 17th-century Roman engineering practices and provides insights into the construction methods of that time. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a significant piece of Falda’s legacy and a testament to his talent as an artist and documentarian.
