About this work

This painting shows twelve round images, each with a different landscape. The roundels are arranged in four rows of three, with a light blue background. Each roundel has a thin black border. The landscapes are all different, with some showing buildings, trees, and water. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, gray, and blue. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity. The painting is an example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and imagination. It's held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
