Roman Landscape near Rocca di Papa 1866

Ernst Furchtegott Mohn's "Roman Landscape near Rocca di Papa" is a delicate pen and ink drawing that captures a tranquil scene in the Italian countryside. The artwork, created in 1866, depicts a hillside village nestled against a rocky outcrop, with the distant landscape visible in the background. Mohn's masterful use of line and shading evokes the texture of the stone buildings and the lush foliage that surrounds them. The drawing, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offers a glimpse into the artist's fascination with the Italian landscape and his skill in capturing the beauty of everyday life.
