Titelprent met architecturale cartouche met wapenschild, titel en opdracht 1637

This title page engraving by Domenico Parasacchi (1600-1650) from 1637 depicts an elaborate architectural cartouche, a common design element in Baroque art. The cartouche frames the title of the book, "Raccolta delle Principali Fontane dell'Inclita Citta di Roma," which translates to "Collection of the Principal Fountains of the Illustrious City of Rome." The engraving also includes a coat of arms, likely that of the book's dedicatee, Carlo Antonio del Pozzo, and a decorative arrangement of urns and scrolls, highlighting the ornate aesthetic of the period. The engraving's meticulous detail and use of perspective reflect the influence of Italian Renaissance art.
