Sepolcro di L. Cellio a Tivoli

Albert Christoph Dies

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a landscape scene with a wide viewpoint. Hills layer the horizon, and fine linework conveys details such as leaves and rocks. The color scheme is monochromatic in sepia and black. A path leads past foliage to a large rock or ruin, where a figure stands. Rolling hills covered in vegetation extend into the distance under a lightly textured sky with bird silhouettes.
