Palace and Canal, Cardinal di Ferrara, Tivoli is a 1681 ink by Melchior Küsel, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a grand palace with tall columns and a long balcony. People stand on the balcony, while others below tend to two elephants. The building has arched windows and a roof with statues. The sky is partly cloudy, and a canal runs in front of the palace. The text at the bottom names it *Palace and Canal, Cardinal di Ferrara, Tivoli*. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and details, typical of etchings. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made prints.
