View of Cittaducale

Josephus Augustus Knip, c. 1810 - c. 1812

Cittaducale lies northeast of Rome, approximately level with Viterbo, but more to the east. This is one of Knip’s most atmospheric drawings. He evidently drew the town just after dawn; the early morning mist still lies low amid the mountains.
