De Thermen van Caracalla en drie kapitelen in de Villa Mattei in Rome
Knip originally drew his spectacular panorama of the Baths of Caracalla, the largest and most luxurious of ancient Rome’s public baths, on three sheets of paper (now in five fragments). In Knip’s day, much of the complex still lay partially underground. The ruins were
excavated from 1824, a process that continued long into the 20th century.
