Radicofani Possibly 1631 - 1717

"Radicofani" is a 17th-century etching by French artist Israel Silvestre, depicting a fortified city nestled on a hill. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the artist's skill in rendering detailed landscapes. Silvestre, renowned for his cityscapes and topographical views, captures the architectural grandeur of the fortress against a soft, cloud-filled sky. This meticulously crafted etching, likely created between 1631 and 1717, reflects the artist's interest in capturing the beauty and historical significance of Italian towns.
