About the piece

Painted in 1817, this work by Achille Etna Michallon illustrates the dramatic scenery of Tivoli. A lone goatherd in a vibrant red coat sits in the foreground, providing a human scale to the cascading waterfalls and the distant silhouette of the Italian town against a muted, early-nineteenth-century sky.
