La Casa della Posta a Dolo is a 1762 ink by Giovanni Francesco Costa, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a busy 18th-century roadside inn called La Casa della Posta a Dolo. The building sits right by the road with travelers coming and going. People on horseback, a carriage, and a dog fill the scene. The artist used sharp lines to catch every detail of the place. You can almost hear the clatter of hooves and the chatter of voices. This wasn't just a picture—it was a real map of who passed through that spot. Look up the artist who made this lively scene: Costa, Giovanni Francesco.
