Old Cypress Trees in Carthusian Convent, Rome 1853 - 1856

"Old Cypress Trees in Carthusian Convent, Rome" is a photograph by Jane Martha St. John, taken between 1853 and 1856. The image depicts several tall cypress trees in the foreground, with a section of the Carthusian Convent in Rome visible in the background. St. John's work is known for its focus on nature and architecture, and her use of light and shadow adds depth to this landscape photograph. The print is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
