To paint Rome...


"Not only every Catholic pilgrim, but also every artist worthy of the name, every poet who aspires to understand and create, every intelligent and noble creature who feels himself capable of attaining a high degree of culture must desire to know Rome; for only in Rome can he rise above a strictly provincial impression of human life and become impregnated with the 'soul' of the universe."
