Sepulchrum Adriani, from a Series of Prints depicting (reconstructed) Buildings from Roman Antiquity Plate ca. 1530-1550 Formerly attributed to Monogrammist G.A. & the Caltrop Perspectival depiction of part of the mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian referred to as the Sepulchrum Adriani’. The building is characterized by its central plan consisting of two circular floors on a rectangular base. The building is crowned by a rectangular (?) lantern. A statue of a Roman soldier is placed on the right corner of the base of the building. Two other statues are placed in semi-circular niches on the second floor. While the building is meant to represent Hadrian’s Tomb, still preserved as the Castel Sant’Angelo today, this rendition was likely created as an ekphrasis, without extensive knowledge of the remains of the original. The print is part of a group of architectural prints depicting buildings from Roman Antiquity, ranging from triumphal arches to bath houses, temples and palaces in Italy, France
