Original Description
John Davies' "A Group of Views of Rome" transports viewers to the Eternal City through romanticized 18th-century eyes. Created between 1764-1765 during Davies' Italian sojourn, this series of delicate gouaches captures Rome's architectural grandeur with meticulous precision softened by atmospheric effects. As a British topographical watercolorist working during the Grand Tour era, Davies bridged documentary accuracy with artistic sensibility – recording famous landmarks like St. Peter's Basilica and the Colosseum while imbuing them with golden Mediterranean light. These works represent the Enlightenment's fascination with classical antiquity, rendered through the emerging English watercolor tradition that would flourish in subsequent decades. Art historically, they preserve pre-industrial Rome's urban fabric while showcasing how traveling artists transformed cityscapes into desirable collectibles for aristocratic patrons.
When displaying Davies' Roman views in contemporary spaces, consider creating a curated cluster of 3-5 pieces in matching frames for impactful salon-style hanging. The warm ochres and sky blues harmonize beautifully with neutral taupe or sage green walls in home offices or libraries, their subdued palette encouraging concentration while suggesting sophistication. Ideal above leather-upholstered furnishings or antique wood desks, the compositions' vertical format (typically 16x12 inches) suits narrow wall spaces between windows or flanking doorways. In modern minimalist interiors, float frames enhance the delicate parchment-like quality while preventing visual competition. For cohesive styling, pair with objets d'art referencing Roman motifs – a travertine sculpture or bronze inkwell – maintaining consistent lighting conditions to preserve the fragile watercolors' luminosity. Their intimate scale invites close viewing in personal workspaces rather than large reception areas.
