View of Tivoli 1610 - 1657

Bartholomeus Breenbergh's "View of Tivoli" (1610-1657) is a pen and brown ink drawing depicting the Italian town of Tivoli, known for its cascading waterfalls. The artist masterfully captures the dramatic landscape, using light and shadow to depict the steep cliffs and lush foliage that surround the town. The intricate details of the buildings, trees, and waterfalls demonstrate Breenbergh's meticulous approach and his keen eye for observation. This drawing exemplifies the Dutch artist's interest in landscape painting, a genre that flourished during the 17th century.
