1911
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Old and New Rome, Victor Emanuel Monument is a 1911 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a cityscape with old and new buildings. The old buildings are on the left, with tall columns and arches. The new buildings are on the right, with a large dome and a tall tower. In the center, there's a big monument with a statue on top. The painting is done in black and white, with lots of lines and textures. It looks like it was made with a special technique that gives it a rough, sketchy feel. The artist has used lots of shading to make the buildings look three-dimensional. If you like this painting, you might want to learn more about the technique used to create it, called lithography.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
