The Antonacci Lapiccirella Fine Art Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition Walking Through Rome. Views of Rome by a nineteenth-century English artist which will open to the public on December 13, 2024.

This exhibition offers an extraordinary opportunity to immerse ourselves in the Rome of the past through a selection of works of exceptional refinement, technical mastery, and painterly sensibility, expressing of the cosmopolitan charm of the Grand Tour.

On show an unpublished nucleus of 43 drawings taken from a priceless album, with private and evocative glimpses of the Eternal City created by an English artist around 1830. Ranging from intimate impressions to monumental views, these drawings reveal not only the artist's technical skill, but also a deep emotional connection with the urban landscape, a testament to the immense fascination the city held for nineteenth-century travellers. Each sheet is a fragment of memory, a testimony to the refined romantic eye of an artist who, enchanted by the timeless beauty of Rome, captured its details with a sure and inspired hand. These drawings are not only artistic testimonies of exceptional value, but also windows on a period in which travel was an intellectual discovery, an experience destined to enrich the spirit and personal knowledge.

An extraordinary immersion in the timeless art and charm of Rome.
