About the piece

Painted in 1830 by the German Romantic artist Carl Blechen, this work depicts a sunlit path in the Roman countryside. Tall, rhythmic trees frame a view of the white papal residence of Castel Gandolfo perched on a distant hill, while two small figures in robes add a sense of quiet pilgrimage to the atmospheric scene.
