EDITORS COMMENTS
View from the Villa Mattei (now Villa Celimontana) in Rome, c.1809-c.1812, is an evocative and captivating 19th-century graphite and watercolor drawing by the Dutch artist Josephus Augustus Knip. The scene portrays the panoramic view of the western slope of the Caelian Hill in Rome, where the Villa Mattei, now known as Villa Celimontana, once stood. The Villa Mattei was constructed on the site of an ancient vineyard during the 16th century. Knip's drawing depicts the villa in a state of ruin, with architectural fragments partially overgrown and scattered about the park. The once grand building, now in disrepair, is a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the enduring beauty of Rome's rich history. The drawing captures the essence of the Roman landscape, with its rolling hills, ancient ruins, and the vibrant colors of the Italian countryside. The Caelian Hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome, is depicted in all its splendor, with its undulating terrain and the picturesque villa nestled among the greenery. Knip's masterful use of graphite and watercolor creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the scene to life and transporting the viewer to the heart of ancient Rome. The drawing is a testament to the artist's keen observation and his ability to capture the essence of a place and moment in time. The Villa Mattei, now Villa Celimontana, remains a significant historical and cultural site in Rome, Lazio, Italy, Europe. Knip's drawing is a valuable addition to the artistic and historical record of this remarkable place, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and enduring allure of Rome.
