Summary

Gezicht op Piazza dell'Esquilino te Rome, met de obelisk en de achterzijde van de kerk de Santa Maria Maggiore. Tekst in het Italiaans in ondermarge. 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.
