A Reconstruction of the Temple of Divus Claudius in Monte Coelio (above) and a View of the Ruins (below) 1690 - 1704

This drawing by Dutch artist Jan Goeree, created between 1690-1704, depicts the Temple of Divus Claudius in Rome. The drawing is divided into two sections, the top half shows a reconstruction of the temple as it may have appeared during its time, while the bottom section showcases a view of the temple's ruins. Goeree's meticulous attention to detail and use of muted tones creates a sense of realism and historical accuracy. This drawing is an important example of 17th-century architectural illustration and provides valuable insights into the Temple of Divus Claudius and the architectural sensibilities of the time.
