Templum Antiquum Ad Fontem Aegerium (Sant'Urbano alla Caffarella, Rome)

Anonymous, Italian, 16th century Italian

ca. 1550–60

Not on view

Perspectival depiction of a Roman temple with Corinthian columns, transformed into the church of Sant'Urbano alla Caffarelle in the 10th century AD. The sheet was acquired as part of a set of fifteen sheets containing 19 plates with views of ancient Roman buildings and one design for a stage set, likely all from the stock of Antonio Lafreri and/or Antonio Salamanca in Rome. The author of the print has not been identified yet, but is undoubtedly the same as 2016.684.14.
