Drawings of Trajan's Column
D
In 2007, the Santarelli Foundation acquired from the heirs of painter Vincenzo Camuccini the album of drawings depicting different sections of the relief of Trajan's Column. The drawings, probably made for lithographic use, show particular care in the luminosity of the figures and an excellent finish to the drawing, typical features of the Roman painter's hand.
