"Les Environs De Rome" is a series of picturesque engravings by the French artist Charles-Melchior Descourtis (1753–1820), who was renowned for his mastery in color printmaking, particularly aquatint. The series depicts the scenic landscapes and historical ruins found in the countryside surrounding Rome, Italy, and reflects the 18th-century European fascination with classical antiquity and the romantic allure of the Italian landscape.

Descourtis was a prominent figure in the art world of his time, known for his technical innovation and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of light and color in his prints. "Les Environs De Rome" is considered one of his significant works, as it showcases his skill in rendering the beauty and atmospheric qualities of the Roman terrain. The series would have appealed to the Grand Tour travelers of the period, who sought cultural education and personal enrichment by visiting historical sites of Europe, with Rome being a key destination.

Each engraving in "Les Environs De Rome" is meticulously crafted, often featuring idyllic scenes that include ancient ruins, pastoral landscapes, and the daily life of the local inhabitants. These images not only served as souvenirs for travelers but also played a role in disseminating knowledge of classical architecture and landscapes to a wider audience in Europe.

The work of Descourtis, including "Les Environs De Rome," contributed to the development of the aquatint technique and influenced the Romantic movement's visual representation of landscapes. His prints are held in high regard for their artistic quality and historical value, offering insight into the cultural and aesthetic sensibilities of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
