1665
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Eighteen Views of Rome: The Castel Sant'Angelo is a 1665 by Lievin Cruyl, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a river scene with a big fortress on the left, a bridge with arches in the middle, and a dome-topped building in the background. Boats float on the water, some with people inside, and the shore has a mix of buildings and ships docked. The paper looks old, with faded ink and some smudges. The fortress has a tall tower, and the bridge connects it to the city. The dome in the back is likely a famous church. The text at the top names the fortress and bridge, and the bottom lists landmarks with letters. Next, check out Baroque for more dramatic art like this.
