The painting shows the Piazza della Bocca della Verità in Rome with the so-called Temple of Vesta (later determined to be a temple of Hercules Victor, the Victorious Hercules). The dome of St Peter's Church can be seen in the background, although in reality it was never seen from the spot in question.
The Temple of Vesta was a temple on the Roman Forum in Rome. It was one of the oldest and most important temples in the city. Vesta was the goddess of the hearth fire.
Carl Christian Constantin Hansen (Rome, 3 November 1804 - Frederiksberg, 29 March 1880) was a Danish painter and is considered an important exponent of the Danish Golden Age.
