Rossini dis. e inc.
Roma 1821.
Etching. 460 x 390mm (18 x 15¼"), with large margins, uncut.
Rather than being the Temple of Jove, these are the remains of the Temple of the Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux) in the Roman Forum. First built in 494BC, it was restored many times, so these columns date from the temple, dedicated by Tiberias in 6AD. The Dioscuri were the patrons of the Knights who every year held an impressive parade outside the temple. Under the columns is a little scene of riders driving bulls through the forum, drawn by Bartolomeo Pinelli to add life to Rossini's architecture.

Having been placed in Nero's circus, it was moved to Saint Peter's Square by Pope Sixtus V in 1586, making it the first monumental obelisk raised in the modern period. The only obelisk in Rome that has not fallen since Roman times, it is topped by a gilt ball once believed to contain the ashes of Julius Caesar.

A portrait of Prince Rupert of the Rhine (1619 - 1682), three-quarter length, standing to the right, wearing a wig, lace cravat, and robes of the Garter. A pillar is seen in the background and a landscape with hills, a river and trees are in the distance to the right. Prince Rupert of the Rhine was the son of Frederick, Elector Palatine, and Elizabeth, daughter of James I & VI. In 1642, already an experienced soldier, he was given command of the cavalry of his uncle, Charles I, becoming captain-general of all Royalist forces in 1644. Prince Rupert had artistic and scientific interests and played an important role in the development of mezzotint as well as experimenting with gunpowder, metallurgy, gunnery, and glass manufacture.
