About the piece

Collaboratively painted by Viviano Codazzi and Michelangelo Cerquozzi, this work masterfully blends architectural precision with atmospheric landscape. The soaring columns of the Roman Forum dominate the composition, while the small figures and cattle in the foreground highlight the persistent life surrounding these ancient, crumbling monuments.
