This view no longer exists as the artist painted it. The Collegio di San Michele, built in the eighteenth century, and the construction of the Lungotevere, along the river Tiber in the nineteenth century, altered it. Here, the old Imperial marble-working yard (Marmorata) is visible on the right bank and the Porto di Ripa Grande, with its two descending ramps with the building of the Dogana (customs house) between them, can be seen on the left. Beyond the Romanesque campanile of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, the Palazzina Pamphilj in its walled garden is visible. In the distance is the hill of the Campidoglio, with the tall campanile of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, the squatter Torre delle Milizie and the dome of Santi Luca e Martina to its right. Although the artist was born in Amersfoort, Holland, and may have been familiar with the landscape artists Jan van der Heyden and Gerrit Berckheyde, he lived in Rome from his early 20s until his death.
