Tivoli, Villa of Maecenas and part of the Cascatelle late 18th century Copy after John Robert Cozens British In 1794 Cozens suffered a nervous breakdown and was placed under the care of Dr. Thomas Monro, a physician and patron of the arts. Appreciating Cozens's exceptional contributions as a watercolorist, Monro employed young artists, such as Thomas Girtin and J. M. W. Turner, to copy Cozens drawings that he either owned or borrowed from friends. This view of Tivoli, near Rome, may be such a "Monro School" sheet, produced at one of the evening sessions held in the late 1790s at Monro's house
