This engraving shows a grand Italian palace from 1549. It’s lined with columns and arches. A man’s carved face appears above the door. The artist used fine lines to make shadows look deep. This trick is called cross-hatching. It helps the building pop off the page. This style reminds me of Serlio’s books on buildings. You can see it at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
