Gezicht op de tuinen en Tiberfontein van kasteel Fontainebleau 1631 - 1655

This etching by Israel Silvestre depicts a view of the gardens and Tiber Fountain at the Château de Fontainebleau, a royal palace in France. Created between 1631 and 1655, the print captures the grandeur of the fountain, surrounded by formal gardens, and a portion of the palace in the distance. Silvestre's meticulous attention to detail, including the figures in the foreground and the trees lining the walkway, exemplifies the precision and artistry of 17th-century printmaking. This etching is an excellent example of the use of printmaking to document and celebrate architectural and landscape design.
