19th Century
Castel Sant'Angelo
Oil on canvas, 49 x 58.5 cm
With frame, 63.5 x 75 cm
The analyzed painting portrays a pleasant view of the city of Rome. Captured from the banks of the Tiber, Castel Sant'Angelo is represented in the foreground, while in the distance, the domes of St. Peter's Basilica can be seen. Castel Sant'Angelo or Mole Adrianorum, also known as the Mausoleum of Hadrian, was begun by the emperor Hadrian in 125 AD as his funerary mausoleum, and completed by Antoninus Pius in 139 AD. In front of the building is the pons Aelius, now Ponte Sant'Angelo, which with its arches is reflected in the waters of the Tiber, generating pleasant plays of color.
The painting fits into the genre of views popular during the Grand Tour, created as a souvenir of the famous monuments visited to be taken back to their homes. Italy was the privileged destination for travelers, artists and intellectuals; Rome, Florence and Naples were essential destinations both for the completion of the education of young European aristocrats and for the numerous artists attracted by the echo of classical antiquity and the charm of archaeological remains. The painting under analysis combines the serene everyday life of the two fishermen, almost indifferent to the surrounding landscape, with the precision of the drawing rich in details, such as the statue of the Archangel Michael on the top of the building or the moored boats. The artist has been able to reproduce the luminous effects of the waters of the Tiber, returning a vivid image of Rome with a bright and clear chromatic range.
