This hand-colored etching, created by English artist Robert Sayer in the mid-18th century, depicts the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome. The print shows a detailed view of the church's facade, with its ornate columns and statues, as well as the surrounding square. The image likely served as a travel souvenir or decorative print for those interested in Italian architecture. The precise date of its creation is unknown, but the artwork's style and composition suggest it was created sometime around 1750. The print is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
