About this work

The history of the city of Tusculum, near Frascati, goes back to the time of the Etruscans. Here, though, Knip was not interested in the picturesque fragments of a distant past. He drew only the hills around the ancient settlement in his characteristic minimalist, yet highly suggestive manner.
