Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
Rohde’s treatment of light here is sublime.
This technique gives the scene depth and pulls us closer towards it. The composition is also beautifully balanced even though the track is uneven and heading upwards.
Frederik Rohde trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and remains highly regarded for his exquisite landscapes. There’s a chance that this particular piece was created during a trip to Italy in the 1860s. The architecture and scenery are reminiscent of his other works from this period.
Rohde is also known for training the great Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) during the early part of his life.
The painting is monogrammed in the lower left and housed within a period frame.
