Getting started with the collection:
View of the Vatican Palaces and of the Monte Mario
Josephus Augustus Knip, c. 1809 - c. 1812
Knip made almost all of his Roman drawings in the part of the ancient city that stretches out from the left bank of the Tiber. He seems to have worked only rarely on the other side of the river. Drawings of Trastevere, a lively working-class district, are not known, and even the sights of Vatican City do not seem to have interested him much. An exception is this view of the Vatican palaces.
