Giovanni Battista Falda's "Le Fontane ne' Palazzi e ne' Giardini di Roma con li Loro Prospetti et Ornamenti" from 1691, is a detailed etching of a fountain in Rome. The print depicts a classical Roman fountain surrounded by sculptures, including two lions and a central figure, likely representing the god Mercury. The architecture is grand, featuring columns and arches, and a balustrade. The scene is a testament to the artistry and grandeur of the Italian Baroque style, evident in the intricate details and the use of perspective. This print is a valuable historical record of the architectural and artistic achievements of 17th century Rome.
