This 1929 woodcut by Dutch artist Wijnand Otto Jan Nieuwenkamp depicts a fountain in the garden of the Villa Il Riposo dei Vescovi in Fiesole, Italy. The scene is framed by two tall cypress trees, with a cloudy sky above and a pool of water reflecting the light of the setting sun. The inscription at the bottom of the image reads "Riposo dei Vescovi," indicating the villa's name and its role as a resting place for bishops. Nieuwenkamp was known for his detailed and evocative depictions of landscapes and architecture, and this woodcut exemplifies his mastery of the medium.
