Notes
This panel from the Temple of Jupiter Statore beneath S.M. in Campitelli is illustrated in G. L. Taylor & E. Cresy, The Architectural Antiquities of Rome, 2 vols., London, 1821, vol.II, p.23. The drawing is typical of the draughtsmanship associated with Nicolas-François-David Lhuiller (d.1793) found in this volume, and the inscribed 'L' probably signifies his authorship.
