Gardens of Prince Mattei, Rome is a 1681 ink by Melchior Küsel, a Baroque work, depicting Garden, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a detailed print of Rome’s lush gardens near the Tiber River. Tall pines frame a clear path. Workers prune bushes and carry water in the distance. This is an etching from 1681, made by Melchior Küsel. He printed it on copper plates, creating sharp lines and soft shadows. It shows a quiet moment in the prince’s private green space. The dry lines make the light feel real. If you like this, look up Rembrandt’s etchings.
