DimensionsHeight: 49.3 cmWidth: 65.5 cm Printed on early 19th century thick wove paper and with margins beyond the plate-impression on all sides. Along with his contemporaries, Rossini believed the structure depicted in this view to be the villa of Mecenate (Maecenas), an Etruscan nobleman and friend of Augustus, but it was in fact, as Napoleon’s Prefect of Rome identified it in 1811, the remains of the sanctuary of Hercules Victor. Luigi Rossini was a renowned Italian Architect, Painter and Etcher. He was born in Ravenna, Italy on December 15,1790. He died in Rome on April 22, 1857.
