Landscape around Albano Laziale
Josephus Augustus Knip (1777-1847), graphite, with grey wash and watercolour, c. 1810-1812
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.
