9856 Giacomo Lauro (c. 1550–1605) – Courtyard of a Renaissance Palace (Cortile di Palazzo) – Copperplate engraving (17th Century)
This copperplate engraving presents a detailed view of the internal courtyard of a Renaissance palace, characteristic of late 16th or early 17th-century Roman architectural design. The composition is structured into two main tiers: the ground floor features a continuous arched loggia with classical statues placed between the columns, while the upper floor displays a rhythm of repeated rectangular windows framed by classical moldings. The engraving uses strong contrast and hatching to render the architectural detail and the depth of the loggias. This work was published as part of a visual catalog, such as Antiquae Urbis Vestigia, documenting contemporary and antique architecture in Rome.
