View of Rome at Night 1836

Hippolyte Flandrin's "View of Rome at Night" is a watercolor painting from 1836, depicting a moonlit night in Rome. The artist, a prominent French painter of the 19th century, captures the city's skyline in a subdued palette of grays and blues, with the moon casting a soft glow on the buildings. The scene is bathed in the soft light of the moon, a popular motif of Romanticism, with the skyline of the ancient city appearing as a distant silhouette. This evocative and atmospheric painting is a testament to Flandrin's skill in capturing the beauty of the night sky and the city it illuminates.
