Landscape around Albano Laziale, Josephus Augustus Knip, c. 1809 - c. 1812
brush, h 207mm × w 516mm More details
Knip here drew the Castello Savelli, a medieval fortress atop a hill on the outskirts of Albano Laziale. The castle had been uninhabited since the end of the 18th century, and little by little had fallen into a state of disrepair. What remained was an exceptionally picturesque ruin situated in a splendid landscape.
