Mountain Landscape at Tusculum
Josephus Augustus Knip (1777-1847), graphite, with grey wash and watercolour, c. 1810-1812
The history of the city of Tusculum, near Frascati, goes back to the time of the Etruscans. Here, though, Knip was not interested in the picturesque fragments of a distant past. He drew only the hills around the ancient settlement in his characteristic minimalist, yet highly suggestive manner.
