A Sunny Street at Tivoli
Thorald Læssøe Danish
Not on view
Læssøe enrolled at the Royal Academy in 1834, but did not regularly attend classes; he is also known to have been tutored by Christen Købke for a short time. Living abroad in Rome, where he moved in 1844, Læssøe made drawings and paintings that demonstrate his passion for his adopted land. This wash drawing is a study of light and shade and shows a meticulously rendered, narrow and imperfect street in Tivoli, a town just outside Rome, baked by the sun.
