About the piece
Painted around 1752, Richard Wilson’s view of Tivoli masterfully balances the wild energy of the Cascatelle waterfalls with the serene ruins of the Villa of Maecenas. In the foreground, a small figure of an artist sits at an easel, reflecting the 18th-century European fascination with the Grand Tour and the documentation of classical beauty in a sublime natural setting.
