Patron: Marcus Aurelius (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) 121-180, Roman emperor (r.161-180).
Made of bronze. Used to stand in the centre of the Piazza del Campidoglio before it was removed for restoration. Now housed in the Palazzo dei Conservatori, one of the Capitoline Museums.
The Capitoline Hill between the Forum and the Campus Martius, is one of the seven hills of Rome. By the 16th century, Capitolinus had become Campidoglio in Italian. The English word capitol derives from Capitoline. The Capitoline contains few ancient ground-level ruins, as they are almost entirely covered up by Medieval and Renaissance palaces (now housing the Capitoline Museums) that surround a piazza, a significant urban plan designed by Michelangelo.

The main sketch has Monet as taken from the mug shot in my German catalog.
The small is Holbein's drawing of the Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius.

803 wise men
Two great wise men are in these sketches here.
Aurelius, Roman Emperor, made men fear.
Impress'nist founder, Monet, had no peer.
"Impression" painting gave the group its name.
Giverny garden - grow the style his aim.
French outdoors genius earned him world-wide fame.
Commodus, emp'ror's son was less than wise.
With too much wisdom, mother nature sighs.
Philos'pher's son can make more folly rise.

Patron: Marcus Aurelius (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) 121-180, Roman emperor (r.161-180).
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.
