"Charles Eastlake - English Signed Grand Tour 1817 Tivoli Rome Italy England"
In the autumn of 1817 Eastlake weni to Tivoli and stayed for six weeks close to the Temple of Vesta, from where he wrote to his mother: "Here one loiters about in the evening, and hence you look down an unfathomable gulf into; which two cascades tumble". He felt inspired there, as many others were: "How rich in associations is Tivoli", wrote Samuel Rogers in his journal (1815), "Horace and Catullus, Claude and Poussin have given it a lustre not its own, and yet it is a gem of the first order". Eastlake painted thirty oil studies whilst at Tivoli, and went back to Rome persuaded that he had learned "a little more landscape".
