Fontein in de tuinen van Villa Doria Pamphilj te Rome 1653 - 1691

This etching by Giovanni Battista Falda, dated 1653-1691, depicts a fountain in the gardens of Villa Doria Pamphilj in Rome. The intricate design of the fountain, with its elaborate ornamentation and cascading water, is a testament to the artistry of the Baroque period. Falda, a prominent Italian architect and engraver, captured the grandeur of the Villa's gardens in this detailed perspective drawing, offering a glimpse into the beauty of 17th-century Roman landscape architecture. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a valuable historical document and a stunning example of Falda's skill in rendering architectural details with precision and elegance.
