The Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Rome, with Two Studies of Plants, c.1809-c.1812. Creator: Josephus Augustus Knip
The Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Rome, with Two Studies of Plants, c.1809-c.1812. The church, bell tower and monastery complex are here rendered from virtually the same vantage point as in Knip's large watercolour, only from further away. Whether the studies of plants that make up the foreground were also drawn in the vicinity of Santi Giovanni e Paolo is doubtful. Knip often combined unrelated motifs on a single sheet of paper

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Josephus Augustus Knip, titled "The Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Rome, with Two Studies of Plants," showcases the stunning architecture of the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Rome, Italy, dating back to the 15th century. The print depicts the church, bell tower, and monastery complex from a slightly distant perspective, offering a breathtaking view of the intricate facade and the towering belfry. The two studies of plants in the foreground, however, may not have been drawn in the vicinity of the basilica. Knip was known for combining unrelated motifs on a single sheet of paper, and these botanical studies could have been sketched elsewhere. The plants, rendered in graphite and mineral colors, add a touch of natural beauty to the architectural masterpiece. The print is a testament to Knip's exceptional artistic skills in capturing the essence of both the man-made and natural worlds. The Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, also known as San Zanipolo, is one of the principal churches in Rome and a significant site of Christian pilgrimage. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of European art, particularly those focusing on architecture, the 19th century, and the Netherlands. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the current home of this beautiful work of art.
