Price Reduction - Classical Print - 1685 - FALDA "Villa Frescada"

(Product Description)
Title: Alius Sons Praedictae Villae a Frescada
Publication Year: 1685
Size: Image: Height 21.0cm, Width 31.5cm
Frame: Height 41.0cm, Width 52.5cm
Artist: Giovanni Battista Falda
Publisher: Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi
Printing Method: Copperplate engraving, hand-colored
Certificate: Certificate of authenticity from when I purchased it is included.
Condition: The artwork has been stored at home for a long time without being displayed in a room, so it remains in the same condition as when I purchased it. The artwork shows no age-related stains or dirt, and the impression marks from the printing process are clearly visible. Please note that the print was folded in half at the time of publication, and a vertical crease remains in the center of the image as shown in the photos.
The protective mat for the artwork is a large size (大衣) with a mat board finish, and it is framed in a brown wooden frame. The frame itself has some minor scratches from age (please refer to photos 13 and 14), but these have been retouched with color and should not be very noticeable from a distance. If you are concerned about the condition of the frame, please refrain from purchasing. The back of the frame is not sealed with tape, so the backing board can be removed to view the artwork itself.

(Product Explanation)
This print is one of the fountain architectures in Rome, created by Giovanni Battista Falda, an Italian architect and printmaker. It is one of the plates that Falda contributed to Le fontane di Roma (The Fountains of Rome) published by Rossi in 1685. It is the 36th plate, indicated by the number XXXVI in the upper right corner.
As the title suggests, it depicts one of the fountain architectures that were actively built at the time in the villas where nobles would go to seek coolness. This work vividly portrays people enjoying the magnificent fountain surrounded by greenery, some climbing the stairs, and children innocently chasing a puppy, all enjoying the fountain architecture in their own ways, making it a delightful piece to behold.
