"Fontein van de Klippen in de tuin van de Villa d'Este te Tivoli" is an etching and engraving by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk. This artwork is believed to have been made sometime between 1670 and 1717, showcasing a detailed and picturesque view of the famous fountain in the gardens of the Villa d'Este in Tivoli. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Schenk's detailed perspective and the popular 17th-century genre of vedute, which depicted realistic views of architectural landmarks and landscapes.
