GIOVANNI VOLPATO, VIEW OF THE PYRAMID OF CESTIUS, ROME, PEN AND BROWN INK, WATERCOLOUR AND BODYCOLOUR HEIGHTENED WITH GUM ARABIC, SIGNED AND TITLED

In the 1780s, Giovanni Volpato joined forces with Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros to create picturesque Italian views for tourists. While this watercolour is not directly related to a known prototype by Ducros, it is nevertheless related to the 1780 publication of a collection of Views of Rome and its Surroundings including large watercolour views over etched outlines (Images of the Grand Tour. Louis Ducros 1748-1810, exhib. cat., London, Kenwood, Manchester, Whitworth Art Gallery, and Lausanne, Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts, 1985-1986, p. 20).
