Tommaso Cuccioni

Temple of Saturn, Roman Forum
1856 - 1857

Albumen print. 33.3 x 45.8 cm. Flush-mounted to original card.

The avenue that we see in this image clearly illustrates the fact that Cuccioni's images of the Roman Forum can be dated later than those of his colleagues. The trees along the Via Sacra were felled in 1849 and only replanted in 1855.
