This etching, "Zicht op de Tempel van de Zon en de Maan in Rome," by Philothée François Duflos (1710-1748), depicts a view of the Temple of the Sun and Moon in Rome. The print offers a detailed perspective of the ancient Roman temple, showing its ruins and surrounding landscape, including vegetation and figures. Duflos’s work is a valuable piece for understanding the architectural and archaeological history of Rome, captured during the 18th century.
