This late 16th-century fresco by Michele Alberti and Jacopo Rocchetti depicts a romanticized view of ancient Roman ruins, featuring the Temple of Castor and Pollux in the Roman Forum with the Palatine Hill in the background. Part of a Renaissance cycle celebrating Rome’s past, it exemplifies the Mannerist style’s blend of grotesques and landscapes.
