About the Item
For the well-born and the well-heeled, spending a year or so making the rounds on the Grand Tour granted one the 19th-century’s equivalent of a MFA. Ideally, and based on your newfound connoisseurship, you would come home with refined taste in the arts and more than a few acquisitions of quality to fill the family halls. Of particular interest were the ruins of classic Greece and Rome, serving as silent, poignant reminders of the fleeting powers of empire—even one as grand and region-spanning as Ancient Rome's.
Round frames were popular in the first half of the 19th-century, and the finely carved gold frame encircling this painting, likely a souvenir of such an eye-opening journey, confirms that it was a treasured experience.
