Acquired from the above by the present owner.

Edward Seago visited Rome in 1955, 1957 and 1958. Ponte Sant'Angelo, depicted in the present lot, and Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II were of particular interest to Seago, notably for their curvilinear structures. He was equally influenced by the aged grandeur and monumental architecture of the Italian capital and whilst there, also captured St Peter's Cathedral, Temple of Saturn, Roman Forum and the Fontana di Trevi.1
