The Monastery at Vicovaro, and the Porter’s Lodge of the Villa Borghese  1809

Knip has here, too, combined two totally unrelated studies. The ‘background’ is formed by a summary sketch of the monastery near Vicovaro, a town just northeast of Rome. Over this he drew a view of the porter’s lodge of the Villa Borghese in Rome, a structure, no longer extant, whose core consisted of a medieval tower.
