Places like Olevano and Civitella in the Sabine Mountains became places of longing for the Italy-loving European painters of the 19th century since the Romantic period and the time of the Deutschrömer. Rudolf Schuster, who for a long time lived in Berlin and Dresden and who was regarded as THE painter of the central German uplands, pursued his education in study journeys across the Alps and created numerous ideal Italian landscapes.
