FRANCESCO PANINI, TWO VIEWS OF THE PONTIFICAL PALACE AND GARDENS ON THE QUIRINAL HILL, KNOWN AS MONTECAVALLO, ROME, BLACK CHALK, PEN AND BLACK INK, WATERCOLOUR, HEIGHTENED WITH WHITE, A PAIR
This pair of drawings by Francesco Panini depicts the Pontifical Palace and Gardens of Montecavallo, the Medieval name given to the Quirinal, one of the seven hills forming the Eternal City. A drawing by Prosper Barbot (1798-1877), dated 1820, depicts the same view with the fountain in the foreground and the recognizable painted vault in the background (Musée du Louvre, inv. RF 26644). This view can also be seen on an etching by Alessandro Specchi (1668-1729), entitled Palais Pontifical sur le Quirinal connu Montecavallo (Rome, Istituto Centrale per la Grafica, inv. S-CL2272-6994).
