Unknown (19th), Ruins on the Palatine Hill in Rome, Watercolor Unknown (19th century): Ruins on the Palatine Hill in Rome Ancient Caesar's Palace, , Watercolor Technique: Watercolor and Chalk on Paper Stamp: Verso Collector's stamp, Lugt no.: 3549. Erhard Oskar Kaps (1915 Leipzig - 2007 Leipzig) . Leipzig. 20th century Inscription: lower left inscribed by the artist's hand: "Rom". Date: Description: After the pilgrims, cavaliers and wealthy citizens came the artists. More than 500 German painters, sculptors, architects and writers spent time in Rome in the first half of the 19th century. Although their fascination with Italy spanned several artistic eras, the longing for the ideal image always remained visible in their works. Both the classicists, with their historicising view of antiquity, and the romantics, with their glorification of Italian nature, shared this view. This watercolour by an unknown German artist is an interesting counter-example to this view. With its muted colouring and lack of any staffage, it has almost realistic features. It shows the palace of Septimus Severus on the Palatine Hill, the place where Rome was founded. According to legend, the gods signalled Romulus to found the new city by sending twelve vultures flying over the Palatine. The so-called Domus Severiana was built around 200 AD and served as the residence of the later Emperor Septimus Severus, who went down in history as a good ruler but was also responsible for the persecution of Christians. His residence was built so dangerously close to the edge of the hill that it had to be supported by mighty arches. Looking at the work, which is extremely restrained in its details, it seems as if the artist wanted to convey all the background, including the dark chapters of history. The sky over the Eternal City was not always azure blue, which makes the watercolour all the more interesting. Keywords: Italy, Rome, Palatine, Palace, Emperor, Roman Empire, Antiquity, Grand Tour, German, 19th century, Romanticism, Architecture, Italy, Size: Paper: 26,0 cm x 41,4 cm (10,2 x 16,3 in) Condition: Rather good condition.
