Tuin van een paleis te Rome 1653 - 1691

This engraving, "Tuin van een paleis te Rome" (Garden of a Palace in Rome), was created by Giovanni Francesco Venturini between 1653 and 1691. It depicts a detailed perspective of the fountains in the garden of the Borromei family's palace outside the Porta del Popolo on the Via Flaminia in Rome. The engraving features a grand architectural design with a central staircase leading to a fountain, surrounded by a balustrade. The scene is framed by two arches, each revealing a reclining figure and a smaller fountain. The engraving is a testament to Venturini’s skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the grandeur of Roman architecture.
