Tivoli

Sanford Robinson Gifford

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with a stream running through a valley. A rocky cliffside with a waterfall on the left side rises to a town with buildings and a church steeple. The cliffside on the right is covered with trees. The sky above is hazy with the sun shining through. The colors used are shades of brown, yellow, and orange. The town on the cliffside sits on the left, and the stream runs from the bottom center to the middle distance. Trees are on the right side. The overall scene is a view of Tivoli.
