Notes

This panel may be based on those from the Temple of the Sun, Rome (see Adam vol.26/35 and 52). It can be compared with a similar sort of invention used by Charles-Louis Clérisseau (1721-1820) in his Roman Museum or House (see T. McCormick, Charles-Louis Clérisseau and the Genesis of Neo-Classicism, Cambridge Massachusetts and London, 1990, p.141, fig.120).
