- Gaspard Dughet, also called Gaspard Poussin, was the brother-in-law of Nicolas Poussin, with whom he studied in Rome from 1631 – 34. His reputation as a landscape painter was rivalled during his lifetime only by those of Claude and Salvator Rosa. Tivoli is eighteen miles north-east of Rome, on the edge of the Sabine Mountains. Dughet’s picture appears to show the first of the waterfalls on the river Teverone (now Aniene) on the north-east side. It is one of the finest of several views of Tivoli painted by the artist and probably dates from late in his career, c.1661 – 63. The picture enjoyed particular favour in England: it belonged to a number of distinguished English collectors, including James, 2nd Earl Waldegrave and the 2nd Earl of Ashburnham. It was also engraved, together with its pendant), and published in Pond’s series of Italian Landscapes in 1744.
It was acquired by the 4th Marquess of Hertford in 1850.
