## Commentary

This splendid etching inspired Hubert Robert&#39;s &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/r/robert/1/pontesol.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/r/robert/1/pontesol.html&#34;&gt;painting of The Ponte Solario.&lt;/a&gt; Piranesi emphasized the bulk of the architectural monument which has an almost sinister appearance.
