Easter Day in Rome

John Frederick Lewis

Art Funded
1936
Dimensions
76 x 182 cm
Vendor
P Henry Sutch
This vigorous watercolour drawing, full of life and movement, is characteristic of Lewis's best work in his early maturity.

In a wide sun-bathed square various types of an Italian crowd are depicted on a festal day - priests and pilgrims, porters and pedlars, mingling with men, women and children in a panorama of vibrant colour.
