About the work
Robert Macpherson (1814-1872)
albumen print, in or before 1863
This classical image leads the viewer past the basin,
and via the bench through the frame of leafy boughs
to the city in the distance. Rising there is the dome
of Saint Peter’s Basilica, the seat of the Apostle Peter.
Subtly placed at the left are two watering cans, and
the profile of the sky and trees is repeated in the
reflecting
pool. Like printmakers before them, now
photographers registered the beauty of the Eternal City.
