The Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Rome, with Two Studies of Plants, c.1809-c.1812. The church, bell tower and monastery complex are here rendered from virtually the same vantage point as in Knip’s large watercolour, only from further away. Whether the studies of plants that make up the ‘foreground’ were also drawn in the vicinity of Santi Giovanni e Paolo is doubtful. Knip often combined unrelated motifs on a single sheet of paper.
