# View of Rome from Mt. Mario, in the Southeast [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PANNINI, Giovanni Paolo]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 102 x 168 cm ## Commentary View of Rome from Mt. Mario, in the Southeast 1749 Oil on canvas, 102 x 168 cm Staatliche Museen, Berlin This is a highly unusual view of the far side of St. Peter's from the southeast, situating the Castel Sant'Angelo near the centre of the horizon. Two centuries before its present-day metropolitan sprawl, Rococo Rome was relatively concentrated in urban scope, allowing for deliciously sudden contrasts between city and country, a paradox fully appreciated by so keen a student of landscape as Pannini. ## Related artworks - [Alexander the Great at the Tomb of Achilles]() - [Alexander the Great Cutting the Gordian Knot]() - [Apostle Paul Preaching on the Ruins]() - [Architectural Capriccio]() - [Architectural Capriccio]() - [Belisarius at the Gate of Constantinople]() - [Capriccio of Classical Ruins]() - [Capriccio of Classical Ruins]() - [Charles III at St Peter's]() - [Classical Ruins with Figures]() - [Departure of the Duc de Choiseul from the Piazza di San Pietro]() - [Expulsion of the Moneychangers from the Temple]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
