A masterful engraving by the Italian artist Giovanni Volpato, created in collaboration with Swiss artist Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros, executed in the etching technique. It is part of a series of engravings that depict the beauty of Italian locales—yet through a personalized interpretation of reality. Rather than direct representations, these are adapted memories and impressions.
The work reflects the trend toward documentation. The villa itself, located in Caprarola, is portrayed with remarkable accuracy. This five-sided structure, built during the Renaissance, is monumental, significant in the history of Italian architecture, and harmoniously integrated into the surrounding landscape.
The artwork is truly captivating: pleasant pastel tones, exquisite detail, a dynamic scene, and vivid characters. One could gaze at it for hours, discovering something new each time.
