Rustieke fontein in de Belvedere tuinen te Vaticaanstad 1637

This 1637 etching by Domenico Parasacchi depicts a rustic fountain in the Belvedere gardens of Vatican City. The fountain is a multi-tiered structure with a small ship at its base, topped by an eagle. The detailed perspective drawing likely served as a design for the actual fountain. While Parasacchi is best known for his work in the field of architecture, he also produced numerous etchings and drawings, many of which showcased the grandeur of Roman gardens.
