Roman Landscape with the Tiber and the Casino Belvedere 1735 - 1749

"Roman Landscape with the Tiber and the Casino Belvedere" is a landscape painting by Jan Frans van Bloemen, completed between 1735 and 1749. The painting, currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a picturesque view of the Tiber River with the Casino Belvedere in the background, a popular destination for tourists and artists in 18th-century Rome. Van Bloemen, known for his detailed and realistic depictions of landscapes, captures the serene beauty of the Roman countryside with a focus on the natural world and the figures that inhabit it. The painting's tranquil atmosphere, with its meandering river and lush vegetation, evokes the idealized vision of Roman landscape often found in 18th-century art.
