Landscape Inspired by the View of Frascati
by MICHALLON, Achille-Etna, Oil on canvas, 127 x 171 cm
This large composition by Michallon, winner of the Prix du Rome for historical landscape in 1822, was executed in the studio after a first impression from nature. The panoramic perspective and the picturesque quality of the figures suggest that Michallon was familiar with the work of 17th-century landscape artists.
The painting was exhibited in 1822.
