Additional Information about the Print

A view of the Colonacce. This giant pair of Corinthian columns in purple and white marble, and the associated frieze of Minerva teaching the arts of sewing and weaving, were part of the colonnade on the northeast side of the Temple of Minerva in the Forum of Nerva. They are all that remains of the ancient Roman temple which was pulled down in the 17th century by Pope Paul V to provide marble for the fountain of the Acqua Paola he was erecting on the Janiculum.

An impression (though titled The Temple of Minerva) was included in a group show of etchings at the Fine Art Society in 1908.

An impression was included (as Remains of the Forum of Minerva) in Walcot’s first one-man show of etchings, at the Fine Art Society 1914.
