Toward the city, the view is directed across the Tiber valley to Rome, where the dome of St. Peter's Basilica and the buildings of the Vatican can be seen, to the right of which is Monte Mario with two pine trees and the villas in the distance. The via Flaminia meanders along the right edge of the picture. Hackert effectfully plays with the resting hikers in the foreground and the hazy expanse from which the silhouette of the city emerges, underlined by his mastery in the wash sepia drawing. Many of the drawings are in renowned graphic collections, such as the Albertina in Vienna, the Pierpont Morgan Library and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, as well as the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin and the Stiftung Weimarer Klassik, thus underscoring Hackert’s immense importance in classical landscape painting in Goethe’s days.
