However, his fame has since been eclipsed by his Romantic colleagues and friends Wordsworth, Coleridge and Byron. Italy was his final work, and came into being from the diary of his tour around Italy in1814. It was Rogers' longest work with the first part being published anonymously in 1822 and the second in 1828. Upon a poor reception Rogers enlarged and revised the poem and commissioned illustrations from J M W Turner, Thomas Stothard and Samuel Proud.
