This print shows a fortress and two grand thrones. Ferdinando Galli Bibiena designed it in the late 17th to early 18th century. It’s a print, not a painting, so ink on paper was used. The Victoria and Albert Museum calls it part of a print collection. The thrones look like celebration stages. The fortress adds a bold, architectural feel. Check out chiaroscuro next.
