View of the Tiber
Victor Jean Nicolle French
Not on view
Victor-Jean Nicolle was sent to Italy by Louis XVI to record various views of Rome and other parts of the country. This he did to exacting detail in Rome, Naples, and Venice. The Tiber view looks across the River toward the Palazzo Farnese and the Palazzo Falconieri. Raking light illuminates the palaces and churches in the distance. Nicolle recorded his urban panoramas with the verisimilitude of a camera some fifty years before the invention of photography.
