"Gezicht op de drakenfontein van Villa d'Este" (View of the Dragon Fountain at Villa d'Este) is an etching by Dutch artist Israel Silvestre, created in 1646. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the grandeur of the fountain, a key feature of the famous Villa d'Este gardens. Silvestre's detailed etching showcases the elaborate cascading water and the surrounding lush greenery, while the figures in the foreground offer a sense of scale. It's a testament to the 17th-century fascination with Italian Renaissance gardens and their architectural marvels.
