Capitoline, Rome is a 1681 ink by Melchior Küsel, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a grand building with columns and statues. In front, a person sits on a bench, and two more stand near a horse. Trees and clouds fill the sky, and the whole scene looks like a stage set. The title at the bottom says "Capitoline, Rome," which is a famous hill in the city. The artist used lines to create depth, making the scene feel three-dimensional. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Küsel made prints like this.
