"Plate 7: a triple waterfall, a dead tree at right, a mountain and a herd of cows in the background at right, from 'Roman landscapes and ruins' (Paysages et ruines de Rome)" is an etching by Italian artist Stefano della Bella, created between 1641 and 1651. This print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a dramatic landscape featuring a cascading waterfall and a barren tree silhouetted against a distant mountain range. The scene is a fine example of della Bella's skillful use of line to capture the beauty and grandeur of the Roman countryside.
