Rovine cagionale in Tivoli il di 16 Novem.re 1826 dall' escrescenza dell'Aniene.
C. Reinhart fec 1826.
Etching. 340 x 450mm (17¼ x 17¾"), with large margins. Uncut. Some foxing bottom margins.
A view of Tivoli showing the destruction caused by the river Aniene flooding in 1826. In 1835, when Pope Gregory XVI created the Villa Gregoriana, he had the 'Grand Waterfall' built as an outlet for the river, to stop it flooding Tivoli again. Johann Christian Reinhart (1761-1847) travelled to Rome in 1789 on a pension from his patron, the Duke of Sachsen-Meiningen, and was based there for the rest of his life. His friends in Rome included the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen.
