This etching by Giovanni Battista Falda, created in 1665, depicts the Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere in Rome. The artwork captures the bustling square, with its iconic church and surrounding buildings, offering a glimpse into the urban life of 17th-century Rome. The detailed depiction of architectural elements and the figures in the scene creates a vivid sense of place and time, making this a valuable piece for understanding the historical context of the city. The print is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is a prime example of Falda's skillful use of line and detail in his architectural etchings.
