Description: | The Colosseum in Rome was a favourite subject for artists visiting Italy. The strong diagonal of the street leads the viewer's eye past the house in the centre of the picture to the shadowed mass of the Colosseum in the background. William Pars went to Rome in 1775 to record architectural remains for the Society of Dilettanti in London. He lived in Italy until his death in 1782. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists watercolours art buildings | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
