In 1833 Horace Vernet was serving as director of the French Academy in Rome, where his king and patron, Louis Philippe, was deeply unpopular. An avid hunter, he often took refuge in these marshes, located some 40 kilometers outside the city. One can imagine the childlike wonder with which he uncovered their mysteries, now lost to time; during the 20th century, the marshes were finally drained and converted to farmland.
