View of Campo Vaccino in Rome
1650
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
View of Campo Vaccino in Rome is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white scene shows a tall, skinny tower in the middle of a busy open space. People walk around, some sit on the grass, and a few animals graze nearby. Trees and smaller buildings fill the background, while a river runs along the bottom edge. The tower looks ancient, with a simple design and a flat top. It stands out against the mix of nature and everyday life around it. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow.
