the present sheet was executed during Ferdinand anton Krüger’s
first trip to italy 1821/22, when he visited Florence and rome.
During his studies at the academy of Dresden, supplemented
with several years of study at the academy in stuttgart, a
scholarship enabled Ferdinand anton Krüger to travel to italy
numerous times. in 1821/22 these travels led to Florence and
rome. in 1824/25 he visited Milan, where he trained at the
engraving academy of g. longhi. in 1827/28 he lived in rome
again, before being called to the academy in Dresden in 1842
with the title of professor. aside from his work as a draughtsman
he is predominantly known for his etchings.
