This pencil drawing by Josephus Augustus Knip titled “View of Marone, and Houses in or near Rome” (c. 1809-1810) is a picturesque depiction of the Italian countryside. Knip, a Dutch artist, is known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the beauty of natural landscapes. The drawing shows a sweeping view of rolling hills and a distant village nestled at the foot of a mountain range. The foreground features a group of houses with a row of cypress trees flanking a winding path. This drawing is a testament to Knip’s skill as a draftsman and his appreciation for the Italian landscape.
Comments
Marone is a town in northern Italy, east of Bergamo. In this drawing, too, the foreground and background have nothing to do with one another. Knip could have drawn the view of Marone on his way back to the Netherlands.
