Collegio Romano te Rome 1699

This engraving by Alessandro Specchi, created in 1699, depicts the Collegio Romano della Compagnia di Giesu, a Jesuit college in Rome. The image shows a detailed perspective view of the building, with a large courtyard in front and a carriage in the foreground. The artist skillfully renders the building's architectural features, including its windows, doorways, and roofline, capturing the grandeur of the structure. This engraving offers a glimpse into the architecture of 17th-century Rome and the importance of Jesuit institutions during that era. The engraving is likely a part of a larger collection of prints documenting the architecture of Rome. The inclusion of the carriage in the foreground adds a sense of scale and context, suggesting the activity surrounding the college.
