About the piece

Painted in 1857, this serene work by American master George Inness offers a nostalgic view of the Roman Campagna. Inness balances the monumental presence of Saint Peter’s Basilica in the distance with a pastoral foreground of weathered stone walls and grazing animals, all unified by a soft, atmospheric glow.
