## Commentary

This painting depicts the Campidoglio following the implementation of Michelangelo&#39;s extensive plans for the remodeling of the piazza, largely completed in 1549. Though an imagined column, perhaps intended as Trajan&#39;s Column, has been added upper left, the view is otherwise faithful. Michelangelo&#39;s distinctive paving design was not, in fact, laid until the 1940s.
