Rome Tiber View from Ponte Sisto, Antique Architectural Print 1869
Description: This refined river view presents the Tiber as seen from the vicinity of Ponte Sisto, with historic buildings lining both banks in a calm, balanced composition. Published in Paris in 1869 for Rome dans sa Grandeur, the print exemplifies the series’ ambition to document Rome’s most characteristic urban vistas with clarity and restraint.
This original antique lithograph is offered unframed, enabling custom framing to personal or interior preferences.
The gentle curve of the river draws the eye into the distance, punctuated by small boats and softened reflections. Architectural detail is rendered with precision, yet the overall effect remains serene and atmospheric. The image conveys Rome’s rhythm as a lived-in city rather than a theatrical ruin.
A highly versatile work, suitable for collectors of Roman topography and for refined interiors where architectural structure and tonal harmony are paramount.
Condition report: Very good condition. Light age toning; minimal foxing mostly limited to the margins.
Framing tips: Off-white matting with a classic dark wood frame complements both traditional and contemporary settings.
Technique: Lithograph Maker: Félix Benoist after Bayot, Paris, 1869
