| Aniello Falcone Landscape with a ruinous Roman arch 17th century drawing British Museum |
We have been exposed here before to the fanatical antiquarianism of Aniello Falcone (1607-1656). His drawing of of a ruinous Roman arch (immediately above) documents the decay that overtook most such monuments. This final skeleton – still standing in the 17th century – did not survive into the present.
