A Turner masterpiece returns to Rome almost 200 years later: sketches in the city, the painter's handprints on the canvas, and a price that could break records.

A masterpiece by the painter J.M.W. Turner has returned to Rome nearly 200 years after its creation. The artwork depicts the Tiber River flowing through the Testaccio district, featuring scenes of boats, local peasants under pine trees, and a pastoral atmosphere that contrasts with the modern-day tourism in the area.

The painting contains physical evidence of the artist's process, including sketches made in the city and traces of the painter on the canvas. Experts suggest the piece could reach record-breaking prices at auction.
