Catalogue Note
The English provenance listed by Busiri Vici (see Literature) for this pair shows the popularity of these types of view paintings with English patrons, who would have acquired them during their Grand Tour. The unusual view of Rome, taken from the slope of Monte Mario, is as it would have appeared to pilgrims and visitors approaching from the north.
