Palazzo Spinolla, Genoa is a 1681 ink by Melchior Küsel, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a group of four people standing near the water’s edge, looking toward a grand building with columns and statues on its roof. Behind them, a large ship with tall masts sails in the harbor. The building has steps leading up to it, and a smaller structure with a dome sits nearby. The text at the bottom names the building as the *Palazzo Spinolla* in Genoa. This print was made using a method that lets artists scratch lines into metal plates. Want to see more?
