The Villa Bellagio, Castello, Near Florence n.d.

"The Villa Bellagio, Castello, Near Florence" is a pen and ink drawing by Italian artist Remigio Cantagallina, created sometime in the 17th century. The drawing depicts a perspective view of a large villa, with a simple, geometric facade, as seen from the road. The villa's exterior is rendered in detail, showcasing the architectural features of the building, including the windows, door, and roof. Cantagallina's drawing is a masterful example of architectural draftsmanship, capturing the structure's form and detailing its features with meticulous precision. The drawing, now part of the Art Institute of Chicago collection, provides insight into the architectural styles of the era and offers a glimpse into the Italian countryside of the 17th century.
