Trinità dei Monti op de Monte Pincio te Rome Possibly 1600 - 1717

This anonymous watercolor depicts the Trinità dei Monti in Rome, a prominent landmark that is still visible today. The panoramic view encompasses a winding path leading to the hilltop church, with the city of Rome stretching out beyond. The artist captures a moment in time during the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Rome with figures and animals traversing the path. The painting is a prime example of the "veduta" genre, a popular form of Italian art that focused on realistic cityscapes. The use of watercolor lends a vibrant and detailed perspective to the urban landscape, making it a valuable document of early 18th-century Rome.
