A Pool and Canal at the Palazzo of Cardinal di Ferrara, Tivoli 1681

Editor: This is Melchior Küsel's print of "A Pool and Canal at the Palazzo of Cardinal di Ferrara, Tivoli." It's quite small, but the architectural detail is impressive. What stands out to you? Curator: I'm drawn to the printmaking process itself. Look at the lines—each one meticulously etched, requiring labor and skill. This wasn't just about representing a scene; it was about transforming material through a deliberate, physical act. How does the print medium affect your understanding of the Palazzo's grandeur? Editor: I never thought about the labor involved that way. It does add another layer. Thanks!
