"Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae: The Great Hall within the Farnese Palace" is an anonymous etching from 1577-1584 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The print depicts a grand, multi-level hall with a central courtyard and two sets of winding staircases. The upper level features a balcony overlooking the courtyard. The perspective drawing, a popular style of the Renaissance, effectively uses vanishing lines to give the viewer a sense of depth and space. The etching showcases the grandeur of the Farnese Palace, a testament to the opulence of Renaissance architecture.
