Fountain of Pomona in the Gardens of the Villa d'Este, Tivoli 1744 - 1750

Joseph Marie Vien's "Fountain of Pomona in the Gardens of the Villa d'Este, Tivoli" is a pencil drawing from 1744-1750 that showcases the intricate details of the famous Italian garden. The drawing depicts the fountain, a central element of the Villa d'Este's elaborate waterworks, with a focus on the cascading water and the surrounding architectural structures. Vien's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, capturing the play of light and shadow within the garden's lush environment.
