This etching by Giovanni Battista Galestruzzi, titled *Scene from Il Triompho della Pieta* (1640-1669), depicts two towers with a gateway in the center of the scene. In the towers are figures that are holding banners, and in the sky above the towers is a figure of Peace on a cloud. The towers and the gateway are surrounded by foliage and a landscape. *Scene from Il Triompho della Pieta* is a dramatic scene of allegorical architecture, and was most likely created for a set design for a play.
