Giovanni Battista Piranesi
Artwork Detail
Like the other small views of Rome, Piranesi first etched this scene in 1748. The Temple dedicated to Clitumnus, a tributary of the river Tiber, is in fact an ancient tomb which was converted into a Christian church in the early Middle Ages. Its source is a picturesque, clear pool, which remains a popular site even today. The etching is a faithful record of the architectural structure, which still remains in relatively good condition.
