German watercolorist Jakob Alt was academically trained, traveled through Europe and rendered wonderful pastoral and architectural scenes from his journeys. This precise and well-executed piece is a thoughtful view of two of Rome’s most renowned edifices, captured with the expert brush of a plein air master schooled in color, technique, and composition.
