拍品专文

On 30 September 1837 Palmer married Hannah Linnell (1818-1893) the eldest of John Linnell's nine children. They departed on their Italian honeymoon on 4 October in the company of George and Julia Richmond and their son. They returned to England in late November 1839.
The present work is one of two Roman subjects exhibited at the Watercolour Society by Palmer in 1843. The other, a view of the Colosseum and Alban Mount, no. 56 in the exhibition, is now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
