About the piece
Painted around 1750 by the French master Joseph Vernet, this sweeping view captures a lively sporting contest on the Tiber in Rome. The composition masterfully balances the architectural weight of the Castel Sant'Angelo and the Ponte Sant'Angelo with a luminous, expansive sky and a meticulously detailed crowd of spectators on the riverbanks.
