Addenda to Elaine Loeffler's “A Famous Antique”
Richard Paul Wunder
In her carefully documented analysis of the Sachetti-Los Angeles sarcophagus Miss Loeffler hardly mentions its history between time it figured in Montfaucon's publication 1724 and appearance Piranesi's Antichità romane 1756. There is evidence, however, to suggest that this famous piece might have been during collection formed by Cardinal Silvio Valenti-Gonzaga.
