Summary

Gezicht op het Colosseum, het Flavisch amfitheater in Rome. Rechts de resten van de Meta Sudans, een monumentale fontein in het oude Rome. In de ondermarge drie regels tekst in het Italiaans. De prent maakt deel uit van een album.

Printmaking in woodcut and engraving came to Northern Italy within a few decades of their invention north of the Alps. Engraving probably came first to Florence in the 1440s, the goldsmith Maso Finiguerra (1426–64) used the technique. Italian engraving caught the very early Renaissance, 1460–1490. Print copying was a widely accepted practice, as well as copying of paintings viewed as images in their own right.
