The state of preservation of the artwork is very good. Image container: 49 x 70 cm. Image Dimensions: 17 x 29 cm The artwork represents the Church of the Jesus of Rome. Not Signed. Others inscriptions: "1 - Casa Professa de Padri Gesuiti - 2 - Palazzo di San Marco", on the lower left; "Gio.Batta Falda dis. et fece - Gio.Iacomo Rofsi in Roma alla Pace co Priu del S.P", on the lower center; "3 - Plazzo dei signori Alfieri - 4 - Palazzo dei signori Petronij", on the lower right. Giovanni Battista Falda (Valduggia, 1643 - Rome, 1678) was an Italian engraver, who documented architectures and urban planning in Rome in the second half of the seventeenth century. Born in the province of Vercelli, he soon showed a passion for drawing. He was thus placed in the workshop of a local painter, and then, at the age of 14, sent to Rome to stay at his uncle's, who spoke about him to Gian Lorenzo Bernini. He also studied with Giovanni Giacomo De Rossi. From De Rossi, the adolescent Falda acquired a "urban" education, and he worked with him, his mentor, all his short life. He died at thirty-five and was buried in Santa Maria della Scala.
