This etching, created by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi between 1741 and 1748, depicts the Trevi Fountain in Rome. The detailed engraving showcases the fountain's ornate facade, with its central archway and surrounding sculptures. Piranesi, known for his architectural prints, captured the grandeur of the structure and its bustling environment, filled with figures and surrounding buildings. This artwork is a prime example of Piranesi's meticulous style and his fascination with the architecture of Rome.
