This engraving by Giovanni Battista Falda depicts the façade of the Palazzo Farnese, a grand Renaissance palace in Rome. Falda, an Italian architect and engraver active in the mid-17th century, specialized in architectural drawings. The detailed etching captures the Palazzo Farnese's symmetrical design, featuring three stories of windows and a central portal. The artwork is a valuable record of this iconic structure and a testament to Falda's skill in architectural representation.
