C.W.Eckersberg's "A View through Three of the North-western Arches" : in the researchers view

Eckersberg painted the view from the old theater ruin, Colosseum, in Rome. He stood on a high floor and looked out over the city. He painted everything he saw with incredible precision. He used the trees and the trees to create a frame around the view. He really struggled a bit. When you stand in front of the trees, you can't see what he saw. He had to go a few steps to the left and a few steps to the right to get that view. He wanted to make sure it was the most beautiful view possible. Everything that was visible and invisible was sorted out. That's the essence of a view in Rome. He didn't look at the people. Karl Bloch did that when he was in Rome.
