San Marcoplein te Venetië 17th century

This anonymous 17th-century engraving of the Piazza San Marco in Venice depicts a bustling scene of daily life in the city. The image captures the iconic architecture of the square, including the Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Basilica, and the Campanile. The print provides a glimpse into the social and commercial activities of the time, with figures walking, working, and interacting throughout the square. The engraving is an excellent example of the artistic and historical value of printmaking in documenting and preserving a visual record of European cities during the Renaissance period.
