Notes
This may be a topographical view or a capriccio loosely based on S. Stefano Rotondo, Rome or Vignola's San Andrea in Via Flaminia close to the Villa Giulia, of which Robert Adam made several drawings. This view is closer to a print in Falda Il nuovo teatro delle fabriche, et edificii, 1762, a copy of which Adam owned, than to the present church. This drawing, attributed to Jean-Baptiste Lallemand, emphasises the church's garden setting in a laurel grove.
