Tibereiland 1680

Hier. Ferri's "Tibereiland" (1680) is an etching that depicts a cityscape view of a small island in the Tiber River, Rome, with two bridges leading to it. The artist uses hatching techniques to create a sense of depth, with the receding buildings of the city and the flowing water suggesting the illusion of space. The detailed representation of architecture and landscape is characteristic of the 17th century, revealing the artist's keen eye for detail. This etching is likely a part of a larger collection of Italian cityscapes, providing a glimpse into the urban life of the time.
