In 1834, King Ludwig I of Bavaria commissioned a cycle of Greek landscapes from Rottmann that eventually numbered thirty-eight canvases (Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Munich). This sketch is the most freely painted of some half a dozen studies for Pronoia (1846/47), which commemorates the burial place of Bavarian soldiers who helped vanquish the Ottoman Turks at nearby Nauplia in 1822, during the Greek War of Independence.
