View of Ariccia from Genzano
Josephus Augustus Knip, c. 1810 - c. 1812
Knip drew the town of Ariccia and environs as seen from Genzano on two sheets of paper. Ariccia is dominated by the dome of the church of Santa Maria dell’Annunziata, designed by Bernini. At the right is the Santuario di Santa Maria di Galloro, where a miraculous image of the Virgin Mary, painted on a piece of rock, has been venerated since 1623. In the foreground Knip twice drew a detail of an old paved road, probably the Appian Way.
