In Lundbye's travel diary from 16 april 1846, he mentions the Florentine landscape depicted in the painting: ''I have walked this path along the Arno on the way to Cascine on countless occasions, a beautiful road, lush trees with delightful nightingales in plenty. Here in Florence, every day is a festive day" (Johan Thomas Lundbye's travel journals “Kilder til Dansk Kunsthistorie” (ktdk.dk), (Primary Sources in Danish Art History) by MA and PhD in art history Jesper Svenningsen and published by the The New Carlsberg Foundation).
