About the piece

Created around 1760 by the influential British painter Richard Wilson, this landscape exemplifies the picturesque tradition. The composition masterfully balances a shadowed foreground with a light-filled central hill and architectural ruins, reflecting the classical 'Grand Tour' style that defined 18th-century European art.
