This etching, created by Giovanni Battista Falda in 1691, depicts the fountain of the Prince of Palestrina in Rome. The Baroque-style fountain, with its elaborate ornamentation and cascading water, was a popular subject for artists of the period. Falda's meticulous detail and the inclusion of the surrounding buildings provide a glimpse into the urban landscape of 17th-century Rome. This print, from "La Fontane di Roma nelle Piazze e Luoghi Publici," showcases Falda's ability to capture the grandeur of Rome's public spaces.
