10033 Giacomo Lauro (1550–1630) – Palazzo and Garden of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in Rome – Copper engraving (1620)
This copper engraving provides an aerial topographical view of the Palazzo and Garden of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, located on the Pincian Hill in Rome. The illustration details the Renaissance palace architecture, featuring twin towers, and meticulously renders the structured, formal Italian gardens in the foreground, characterized by geometric paths, hedge mazes, fountains, and sculpted beds. The print was created to document the splendor of Roman antiquity and architecture in the early 17th century.
Giacomo Lauro was an Italian architect and engraver active in Rome during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. He is best known for his influential collection of copperplate engravings, Antiquae Urbis Splendor, which systematically documented and illustrated the monuments, palaces, and ruins of Rome for contemporary and scholarly audiences. His highly detailed work provides invaluable historical records of the city's appearance in the early 17th century.
