The Fourvière Hill at Lyon

The site has not been identified. The view is taken from the foot of a hill looking up towards a wall, perhaps ancient Roman in origin, and a red brick town beyond it. A villa, its cornice lined with free-standing statues, stands at the top of the hill in an enclosed, tree-filled garden. The russet tonality of the landscape and the crisp architectural forms contrast with the blue of the sky and the rolling clouds.
