This etching by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, known for his architectural prints, depicts the Palazzo Mattei in Rome. Completed between 1741 and 1748, the print showcases the palace's grandeur, featuring a fountain in the foreground and the church of S. Caterina de Funari to the left. Piranesi's meticulous detail and use of light and shadow create a realistic and evocative portrayal of this significant Roman landmark.
