View of Siracusa c. 19th century

Antonio Senape's "View of Siracusa" (c. 19th century) is a delicate pen and ink drawing depicting the ancient city of Syracuse, Sicily. Senape, an Italian artist born in 1788, captures the city's rolling hills and the expansive vista of the Mediterranean Sea. The composition is centered on an oval amphitheater nestled within the landscape, surrounded by trees and buildings. The drawing is held in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
