About This Image

In the southeast part of the Piazza di Spagna is the Colonna dell'Immacolata (column of the Immaculate Conception). It was erected in 1857--and probably photographed at that time--to commemorate the dogma of the immaculate conception. The column was found in 1777 under a monastery. It is now topped with a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Provenance: old collection of J. Harrison, Jr. purchased in 1861.
