This view is from a set of six signed and numbered etchings of the Villa Pratolino in Florence and its famous park, fountains, and grottoes. The villa, which was destroyed in 1822, was created around 1569-84 for Grand Duke Francesco I de' Medici based on the designs of Bernardo Buontalenti and others. This set of plates was so popular that it continued to be printed into the 18th century.
