'View of the Capitol, Rome', c1761. The view shows the Capitol, the administrative centre of ancient and modern Rome. The Renaissance architecture of Michelangelo's Palazzo dei Conservatori fills the sheet in the background. In the foreground, stretching across the width of the sheet, are important Roman antiquities. They are arranged symmetrically on each side of the head of the stairs which mount the Capitoline Hill. Though Piranesi recorded the site fairly accurately, he was also interested in creating the impression of the grandeur that was ancient Rome and how it still dominated the eighteenth century city. So the Trophies of Marius and the two Dioscuri, or heavenly twins (Castor and Pollux) with their horses tower over the small human figures. This is one of Piranesi's few surviving drawings for his series of 133 etchings, the "Vedute di Roma" (Views of Rome). PD, 1908-6-16-45
