This anonymous, hand-colored etching from the early 18th century provides a bird’s eye view of Rome. The cityscape depicts the city’s layout with its winding river and various buildings. It is likely the etching was part of a book or collection, and although the artist remains unknown, the detailed depiction highlights the prominence of Rome in the early modern period. The artwork, known as a “veduta,” offers a glimpse into the city's architecture and urban planning.
