Capitoline Hill (student work).1924 .
photo by @FranzTank
The hub of this illustration is Capitoline, one of the traditional seven hills of Rome that was especially built up during the era of the Etruscan kings ( sixth century b.c. ), when the great temple was built and dedicated to the Capitoline Triad : Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. Despite considerable progress by archaeologists during that time , Carlu's work appears to have been inspired mainly by imaginary and chance criteria - although he did use some elements of fact - instead of genuine historical and archaeological data.

"Architectural Composition : A Restoration of the Temple of Ceres and Other Ancient Buildings at Eleusis" c.1814-15. oil/canvas.
This painting by Joseph Gandy, British artist and visionary architect, gives us his idea of what the site at Eleusis might have looked like around 200CE at the beginnings of the end of the Roman Empire.

Designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, Chicago Union Station is one of the last grand American railroad stations. When it opened in 1925 it was considered an outstanding achievement in railroad facility planning. The limestone-clad structure has an austere Neoclassical exterior with a massive colonnade on the east side. The interior features a Beaux Arts-style Great Hall, a marble-sheathed waiting room enclosed by colossal fluted Corinthian columns with gilded capitals.
Venetian architect Piranesi
"Part of a spacious and magnificent Harbor for the use of the ancient Romans opening onto a large market square..." ca. 1749–50
Piranesi wrote that his observations of the vast remaining piles of marble and the immense spaces once occupied by ancient buildings had filled his spirit with magnificent images. Since he despaired of anyone financing such grand structures, he had decided to share his visions through means of prints. The combination of buildings illustrated in this etching could never actually be built. In the inscription plate which Piranesi added to the second state of the print, many of the features of the port are explained, such as the rostral columns that commemorate naval victories, and the altar to Neptune, from which clouds of incense issue ceaselessly. The idea of landing at such a splendid port is thrilling, although it would be nicer if Piranesi hadn't informed us that the liquid pouring from the lions' head spouts is sewage.
