Veduta della Piazza di Monte-cavallo.
R. Ruga inc. 1826.
In Roma presso Giac. Antonelli alle Convertite No. 179. B. e in Piazza di Sciarra No. 233.
Engraving with very large margins. 290 x 340mm (11½ x 13½").
A view from the Quirinal Hill, with the two colossal marble statues of the 'Horse Tamers' (which gave the Quirinal its medieval name, Monte Cavallo), with the obelisk from the Mausoleum of Augustus between them. The figures are usually identified as the 'Dioscuri' (twins Castor and Pollux), but an alternative theory is that it is a double representation of Alexander and his horse Bucephalus. Either way, the inscriptions 'Opus Phidiae' (shown here) and 'Opus Praxiteles' ('the work of Phidias & Praxiteles) are discredited. Their size prevented them being looted by Napoleon

Engraving. 150 x 210mm (6 x 8¼"). Trimmed into image, laid on album paper.
Hieronymus Cock (c.1517-70) visited Rome in the late 1540s, inspiring him to start up his own publishing firm in Antwerp in 1548, which became the most important print publishing firm from outside Italy. After his death in 1570 the firm was continued by his widow (Volcxken Diercx) until her death in 1600, when many of the plates were acquired by Philips Galle. However this plate seems to have been acquired by the van Doetecum brothers, who published it in 'Operum Antiquorum Romanorum' in 1562, with Cock's name removed.
