About this work

This engraving shows a three-story palace with arched and triangular windows stacked in a neat pattern. The front door sits below a balcony with a small roof. Built in 1549, this is one of Giulio Romano’s rare surviving buildings. He worked mostly as a painter and designer, but this palace proves his skill in stone. Check out the cross-hatching in the shadows—it gives depth without any color. Look up the technique next.
