Palazzo Maggiore (Imperial Palace on the Palatine) is a 1629 ink by Giovanni Battista Mercati, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a large, ancient structure with a central archway and a tower on the right. The building appears to be in ruins, with crumbling walls and overgrown vegetation. In the background, other structures are visible, but they are not as prominent as the main building. The etching is detailed, with intricate lines and textures that give the image depth and dimension. The artist's use of light and shadow adds to the sense of atmosphere and mood.
