Examples of depictions in this genre include blacksmiths shoeing horses in grottoes, (19) brigands attacking travellers, (20) as well as idlers around Roman lime-kilns (21) such as the painting in question here, the Scene at a Roman Lime Kiln (22)--a typical theme of Bamboccianti art.
More attractive than the bamboccianti are the carefully observed but fancifully recomposed views of contemporaneous Rome by Jacob de Heusch and Gaspar van Wittel, such as their pictures of an island in the Tiber with its ancient bridges, classical ruins, time-weathered ramshackle houses and opportunistic bathers and boatmen (Braunschweig Museum and Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna).
