This is clearly an imaginary scene: the artist has situated the Temple of Minerva Medica in a ghostly and misty mountain landscape, while in reality it is located in Rome. Paulus van Vianen based the rendering of the ancient temple on a print, for he did not know the building first-hand. He never went to Rome.
