This 1761 Roman engraving, made by Paolo Posi with Giuseppe Vasi and Giuseppe Palazzi, dedicates a design for a palace façade on Piazza Colonna to Cardinal Rezzonico, the Pope's nephew. The print shows a broad, ornate baroque palace front beside the tall Column of Marcus Aurelius, with crowds and smoke in the square, offering a designer a clear study in classical street architecture, layered rusticated bases, and tiered window rhythm.
