About the piece
Painted in 1776 by John Inigo Richards, this oil on canvas captures the Castel Sant'Angelo in a soft, ethereal light. The composition pairs the monumental Roman fortress with a charming foreground scene of figures strolling along a dirt path, offering a classic 'Grand Tour' perspective on the Eternal City.
