Giovanni Battista Falda’s 1676 map of Rome is the most celebrated representation of the city produced during the seventeenth century. It subsumes a vast array of information but is also an exquisite visual image that opens worlds when read as a work of art. Numerous minds and hands went into its making: from Maratti’s figures of Religion and Justice to the aureole of shields containing the publisher’s letter to readers, to Widman’s lettered tables set within cartouches bedecked with mapmakers’ tools, to the parchment curl of Falda’s regional map, his familiar vedute and bird’s-eye view of the urban core.

法尔达的艺术作品地图

乔瓦尼·巴蒂斯塔·法尔达（Giovanni Battista Falda）1676年绘制的罗马地图是十七世纪期间该城市最著名的代表。它包含了各种各样的信息，同时也是精美的视觉图像，当作为艺术品阅读时，它会打开世界。从Maratti的宗教和正义人物形象到包含出版商写给读者的信的盾牌的光环，到以制图者工具为基础的镶嵌在Witouch桌上的Widman字母表，再到Falda区域地图的羊皮纸卷，他熟悉的市区中心鸟瞰图和鸟瞰图。
