Getting started with the collection:
In the Environs of Genzano
Josephus Augustus Knip, c. 1809 - c. 1812
Just like many other artists, Knip fled from the oppressive heat in the Eternal City in the summer months and sought relief in the cooler hills east of Rome. Here he portrayed the surroundings of Genzano, a little town near Lake Nemi. Knip’s inscription on the drawing does not tell us precisely what he drew, possibly a monastery with buildings around a courtyard, and a church at the left.
