About the piece

Painted in 1818 by French Romantic master Théodore Géricault, this evocative Italian landscape centers on a massive circular tomb perched on a hill. The scene is imbued with a sense of melancholic grandeur, characteristic of the Romantic era, as a small boat traverses a river beneath a bridge and a stormy, light-pierced sky.
