Piazza della Rotonda is a 1650 ink by Israël Silvestre, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the painting, a large building with a dome and columns stands in the center. The building has a triangular roof and a tall bell tower on each side. In front of the building, people are walking and standing around. There are also some small buildings and stalls on either side of the street. The sky is light-colored, and there are some clouds. The scene appears to be a bustling city square, with people going about their daily business. The building in the center is likely a church or other important landmark. The artist has used a range of lines and shading to create depth and texture in the image.
