Fascinating Roman view presented here, executed by the Austrian-born painter Robert Alott (Graz 1850-1910 Vienna), a great traveller and lover of Italy, where he left a series of exceptional views, with a focus on the most famous views of the Eternal City.

Always immortalised with an oriental spirit, a great romantic sensibility emerges at the centre of his artistic creations: his landscapes are characterised by a highly delicate painting, subtle reproduction of atmospheric details and impeccable mastery of colour.

Just as, in poetry, authors such as Baudelaire extolled the journey as a metaphor of life to elevate oneself towards values of beauty, our work perfectly illustrates the same suggestion, where cultured and refined tourists, whom we see from the back in the foreground on the left, contemplate the great monument, being seduced by its magnificence.

The 19th century in fact proved to be the age of travel, which, in the wake of the Grand Tours that had spread in the previous century, was still undertaken to complete one's cultural education, but above all for the personal pleasure of travelling as a source of personal enrichment.

Needless to say, Rome, a point of reference for artistic life from the beginning of the 17th century, was the privileged destination for bourgeois families from all over Europe, for the wealth of its collections of antiquities and the great masters of the Renaissance and 17th century, for the great theatre of ruins and the charm of its monuments.

The city is represented here in its absolute symbol, the Colosseum, towering imposingly in its elegance full of pathos, and immersed in the popular ambience that could be experienced by bourgeois travellers, eager to possess a ‘souvenir’ in its most characteristic dimension.
