# View of Tivoli [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DUGHET, Gaspard]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 31 x 46,5 cm ## Commentary Not all of Dughet's work falls into the category of Poussin imitation. There is a category of much more naturalistic pictures, which have proved almost impossible to date. They often include views of Tivoli, and also show a preoccupation with the picturesque. The ruined circular temple of Tivoli on top of its very steep slope inspired painters interested in nature at its most romantic, and some of Dughet's best pictures are of this subject, in which the waterfalls trickling over the rocks are painted with great naturalism. A good example of this type of landscape is his painting in the Molinari Pradelli collection in Bologna. ## Related artworks - [A View of Tivoli, with the Teverone Flowing Beneath]() - [Country Landscape]() - [Design for a Country Landscape with Wayfarers]() - [Hall in the Appartamento Estivo]() - [Heroic Landscape with Figures]() - [Imaginary Landscape]() - [Italianate Landscape]() - [Landscape]() - [Landscape with Lightning]() - [Landscape with Magdalen Worshipping the Cross]() - [Landscape with St Augustine and the Mystery]() - [Landscape with St Jerome and the Lion]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
