Piazza del Campidoglio

Etienne Dupérac (mentioned on object), 1568

The section on architecture in the Zobel Album contains prints of ancient and modern Italian structures, as well as imaginary ones. This large print affords a bird’s-eye view of the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome designed by Michelangelo. Four mounting strips of white paper were affixed around the print so that, when it was folded in half, it fit perfectly into the album.
