This 1637 etching by Domenico Parasacchi depicts the "Fontana di Piazza Navona," a famous fountain in Rome. The detailed drawing shows the fountain's intricate design, including the tiered structure, decorative balustrades, and sculptural figures. Parasacchi's precise lines and shading create a realistic representation of this iconic landmark. The artwork is a valuable historical document and a testament to the artistry of the Baroque period.
