The subject, customary already in the eighteenth century, enabled the artist to demonstrate the virtuosity in conveying light, which he had attained by intensive study of nature in Provence and Italy. ## Related artworks - [Crypt of San Martino ai Monti, Rome \(detail\)]() - [Crypt of San Martino ai Monti, Rome]() - [Meeting of the Monastic Chapter]() - [Monks in a Cave]() - [Quay of the Seine with Barge, Fog Effect]() - [San Trinità dei Monti and the Villa Medici, Rome]() - [Stella in Prison]() - [The San Rocco Bridge and the Grand Waterfall at Tivoli]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
