Ansicht von Rom – View of Rome
Privatsammlung - Private collection
The painting shows a view of the Tiber with the Ponte and Castel Sant'Angelo. St Peter's Basilica and the Vatican beyond. Joli painted the site on a number of occasions, always introducing slight changes in the format, viewpoint and staffage. In each different version the artist varied the mood of the sky and the arrangement of the staffage, though a boat or a gondola with a boatman and two passengers in the lower centere seems to be a constant.
