Villa Medici Gardens and the Trinità di Monti, Rome
(Charles-Auguste Van den Berghe)

Description

This view is taken from the upper floors of the French Academy, then situated in the Villa Medici, looking across the gardens of the Villa towards the chapter house of the French Church of Santa Trinità del Monte. To the right the Spanish steps descend into the piazza di Spagna, just concealed from view, in the distance beyond the Church can be seen the Palazzo Quirinale, then the principal residence of the Popes before they were forced to move into the Vatican palaces with the conquest of Rome.
