View of Cittaducale, c.1810-c.1812. Creator: Josephus Augustus Knip
View of Cittaducale, c.1810-c.1812. Cittaducale lies northeast of Rome, approximately level with Viterbo, but more to the east. This is one of Knip's most atmospheric drawings. He evidently drew the town just after dawn; the early morning mist still lies low amid the mountains

EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting 19th century graphite drawing by the Dutch artist Josephus Augustus Knip, created around 1810-1812. This work of art depicts the picturesque Italian town of Cittaducale, located in the Rieti province of Lazio, approximately northeast of Rome and more to the east. The drawing is renowned for its atmospheric qualities, as Knip evidently captured the scene just after dawn. The early morning mist still lingers low among the hills and mountains, adding an ethereal quality to the landscape. Cittaducale, with its quaint hilltop town layout, is nestled amidst the rolling hills and majestic mountains, creating a stunning juxtaposition of nature and human settlement. The drawing masterfully employs the use of tonal variations to convey the subtle color palette of the scene, with the misty morning light filtering through the landscape. This drawing is a testament to Knip's exceptional talent as a landscape artist, as he expertly captures the essence of the moment and the unique character of the Italian countryside. The intricacies of the town's architecture, the undulating hills, and the misty mountains are all rendered with remarkable detail and precision. This beautiful work of art is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th century European art, particularly for those with an appreciation for the natural beauty of Italy and the skillful depiction of atmospheric landscapes. The drawing is currently housed in the esteemed Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
