Vineyard of Pope Julius on the Via Flaminia is a 1628 ink by Herman van Swanevelt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a winding river cutting through a hilly landscape. On the right, two figures stand near the water’s edge, one holding a long staff. Trees and bushes dot the hills, and a small village sits in the distance along a road. The scene looks quiet and detailed, with lots of texture in the water and foliage. The text at the bottom reads *"Vigna Papae Iulio in via Flaminia"*—which means it’s a vineyard owned by a pope. The artist used fine lines to create depth, making the scene feel real.
