FRANZ KAISERMANN (YVERDON, 1765 - ROME, 1833)
View from the Colosseum in Rome
View from the Champs Elysées and the Gulf of Baia to the Kingdom of Naples
Watercolour drawing
27 x 40 cm each
Kaisermann went to Rome in 1789 to work as an assistant for the Swiss painter Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros. There he produced numerous views of the city and its monuments, in order to meet the growing demand of travellers in the nascent tourist industry. The "Grand Tour", the obligatory stage in an honest man's life to perfect his education, was becoming more democratic, and Kaisermann's works, immortalizing monuments and landscapes, were collected as souvenirs.
