This etching shows a grand hall lit by dozens of candles. The walls curve up to a domed ceiling. People in fancy clothes stand below, looking up. The artist used light and shadow to make the scene feel alive. He was a pro at prints and city views. This work shows a festival night in 1764 Rome. Check out Vasi, Giuseppe for more like this.
