About the Item
Rome on the Tiber – Lively Porto di Ripetta Scene, Benoist 1869
This atmospheric riverside scene captures the Port of Ripetta on the River Tiber, one of Rome’s most important 18th- and 19th-century river ports. Issued as part of Philippe Benoist’s Rome dans sa grandeur, the view reflects the artist’s talent for combining topographical accuracy with narrative vitality.
The composition is taken from near the Church of San Rocco, looking along the bustling quay. Benoist carefully renders the river traffic, carts, horses, vendors, and pedestrians, creating a vivid portrait of commercial life along the Tiber before modern embankments transformed the riverbanks. The architecture recedes naturally into the distance, while the soft tonal gradations of the tinted lithograph lend depth and a slightly hazy Roman light.
This plate is particularly appealing for its human presence and sense of movement. Unlike purely monumental views, it offers a social history of Rome, showing how the city functioned as a living organism dependent on river trade and transport. Such scenes resonated strongly with 19th-century viewers and remain highly attractive today for collectors interested in urban life and historical infrastructure.
As an individual print, this view works beautifully in interiors that benefit from narrative detail and warmth, especially libraries, studies, or river-themed decorative schemes.
