Church of San Adrian on the Via Flaminia

Herman van Swanevelt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with an elevated view. The horizon is high, with sketchy lines indicating a sky with birds. A round, domed building is surrounded by trees, with other structures nearby. The brushwork is detailed, resembling etching or engraving, depicting textured foliage and terrain. The color scheme is monochromatic, using black and white for intricate line work and light/shadow contrast. Two figures are seated by water on the right, with a path leading to distant architectural features.
