GalleryLandscape PaintingOpen AirRoman Campagna

The Roman Campagna refers to the landscape surrounding Rome and was an important Grand Tour destination for international artists in the 18th and 19th centuries who worked directly from nature. I have spent extensive periods since 2000 exploring these itineraries while researching the early open air painting tradition.  I have  a reverence for these places and have attempted in these works to give a fresh interpretation to these historic motives.
