Temple of Antoninus and Faustina in Rome
by CANAL, Bernardo, Oil on canvas, 148 x 199 cm
The attribution of this large canvas, a veduta of the Roman Forum framed as a capriccio by the outside wall of the Colosseum was the subject of a heated debate. It was attributed to the young Canaletto until 2001, when the name of Bernardo Canal was proposed. This attribution is now accepted.
