Temple de Venus et de Rome, from Les Plus Beaux Monuments de Rome Ancienne ou Recueil des plus beaux Morceaux de l'Antiquité Romaine qui existent encore
Not on view
Plate 4, View of the Temple of Venus and Roma, on the Velian Hill. In the foreground, an artist sketches the ruins and a group of figures gather around a well. Below this plate is a smaller image, titled "Bas relief de la frise du Temple de Pallas," with statues of five figures, including Neptune and Jupiter. These two images appear facing page 6, which starts the portion of text describing the Temple of Venus and Roma (continued on pages 7 and 8). This chapter discusses Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Famiano Nardini, and Alessandro Donati, three artists who also focused on views of Roman monuments.
