Peter Raadsig stayed in Rome in the period 1841–1845. Here he mainly painted folk life, but also the surrounding landscape like this one from Subiaco. Subiaco is a picturesque mountain town located east of Rome. The mountain village attracted Danish painters on excursions from Rome i.a. Wilhelm Marstrand (1810–1873), Fritz Petzholdt (1805–1838) and Martinus Rørbye (1803–1848). Well known is the latter's depiction of “The lower church in the monastery of St. Benedetto at Subiaco” found today in two versions, one at The National Gallery of Denmark (Inv. No. KMS410) and one at Ribe Art Museum.
