The artwork, titled “Keats’ Tomb in the Protestant Cemetery, Rome,” is a landscape piece created by the artist Walter Crane. It belongs to the Neo-Romanticism art movement and exemplifies the genre of landscape painting.
In the artwork, one observes a serene cemetery setting dominated by lush greenery and towering trees. The focal point is the tomb of the renowned poet John Keats, marked prominently in the foreground. Surrounding the tomb, well-trimmed hedges and overgrown grass accentuate the tranquil and somber atmosphere of the cemetery. In the background, the impressive Pyramid of Cestius rises against a clear blue sky, adding an element of historical depth to the scene. The combination of natural and man-made elements in the artwork, along with the meticulous attention to detail, evokes a sense of peace and reflection, characteristic of Neo-Romanticism.
