View of Tivoli: the Cascatelle and the Villa of Maecenas

View of Tivoli: the Cascatelle and the Villa of Maecenas is a painting created by Richard Wilson between 1750 and 1760. 



The artwork, housed in the Dulwich Picture Gallery, measures 0.972 meters in width and 0.733 meters in height. 



The painting depicts a landscape featuring a waterfall (Cascatelle) and the ruins of the Villa of Maecenas in Tivoli, Italy. In the foreground, two figures, one appearing to be a painter at an easel, are seated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the scene. The background shows a town nestled on a hilltop, with a clear sky and distant horizon. The style is characteristic of landscape painting of the period, with attention to light and atmospheric perspective.
