Rovine cagionate in Tivoli, dall'escrescenza dell'Aniene (Tivoli Damaged by the Flood of the River Aniene)

Johann Christian Reinhart

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a river valley with a village on a rocky hillside. The horizon is high, matching the distant mountains. There are buildings, including a bell tower, in the village. The artwork is an etching with fine lines creating textures and shadows. The color scheme is monochromatic, using shades of gray and black. In the foreground, there are cliffs, water, and trees. The village stretches across the ridges, set against undulating landscape and clouds.
