Known for his detailed architectural engravings, Falda captures the grand facade of the Jesuit church, illustrating its prominent location within the city. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into 17th-century Rome and the architectural grandeur of the Baroque era. Its precision and clarity make it a valuable historical document for art historians and architectural enthusiasts alike.
