Karl August Lindemann-Frommel's "Gezicht op Rome vanaf de heuvels bij de Thermen van Caracalla," a lithograph created between 1851 and 1859, provides a stunning panorama of Rome from the hills overlooking the Baths of Caracalla. The artist captures the city's sprawling landscape, with the iconic dome of St. Peter's Basilica prominently featured in the distance. The composition is balanced between the natural elements, including a tall pine tree in the foreground, and the architectural grandeur of the city, showcasing the enduring legacy of Roman civilization. This lithograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Lindemann-Frommel's skill in capturing the beauty and historical significance of Rome during the mid-19th century.
