This landscape is one of a series of studies made during 1924 whilst Knights and Monnington were on their honeymoon in Piediluco. Monnington used the same setting for his iconic Tate painting Allegory and Knights for her major painting Santissima Trinita. In an undated manuscript in the archives of the British School at Rome, Monnington recounts: 'On her return to England [1926] she completed, after months of work, a picture for which she had made many studies in Italy. She gave it the title of The Santissima Trinita'.
