Fontein en visvijver in de tuinen van de Villa Montalto te Rome 1653 - 1691

This etching by Giovanni Francesco Venturini, dated 1653 - 1691, depicts a fountain and fish pond in the gardens of the Villa Montalto in Rome. The detailed engraving showcases a formal garden design with a central, circular pool surrounded by a balustrade. The fountain, a prominent feature, spouts water from a series of tiers. The surrounding landscape is adorned with trees and figures, adding a sense of depth and scale to the composition. The inscription at the bottom indicates that the villa's architecture was designed by the architect Domenico Fontana. The print offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Italian gardens during the Baroque period.
