A Section of the Via Sacra, Rome (The Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian)
Artist: Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (Danish, 1783–1853)
Original Dimensions: 12 3/8" x 17 1/8"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (ca. 1814–15) "In Rome, between 1813 and 1816, Eckersberg produced a series of urban prospects remarkable for their scrupulously simple compositions and saturated hues. These studies were painted in repeated sittings before the motif in order to faithfully reproduce the effects of the Mediterranean sun on architectural ensembles. This friezelike view depicts the fourth-century Temple of Romulus and Remus, which forms the vestibule of the sixth-century Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian. Eckersberg later installed his Roman views in the apartment he occupied at Charlottenborg Palace, Copenhagen, where they proved a revelation to his younger contemporaries." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
