Franz Knebel Landscape in the Alban Hills with a View of Castel Gandolfo Oil on canvas (relined). 69 x 104 cm. Signed and dated lower left: F. Knebel fec. 1858. Provenance Private collection, Great Britain. - Lempertz, Cologne, 21-25.11.1957, lot 310. - German private collection. In the 19th century, the hilly landscape around Lake Albano, with the papal summer residence of Castel Gandolfo, was a popular subject for landscape painters of the Romantic and Realist movements. Artists from all over Europe would often make repeated journeys to the “land where the lemon trees bloom”, seeking to capture its landscapes and the distinctive light of the South. The Swiss painter Franz Knebel moved to Rome as a young man and subsequently remained in the Eternal City for the rest of his life, where his Italian vedute and landscapes were highly popular and successful.
