About the piece
Created circa 1775, this landscape by Richard Wilson exemplifies the 18th-century obsession with the Italian Grand Tour. The composition uses atmospheric perspective and a warm, glowing palette to depict the Tiber River as it flows toward the eternal city of Rome, visible on the hazy horizon.
