From around 1889, Paul Lindner worked as a freelance photographer for the German Archaeological Institute in Rome. His darkroom consisted of a tent set up in the Institute's garden on the Capitoline Hill. At the same time, he also supported the architect Theobald Hofmann for almost two decades in carrying out his research on Renaissance palace architecture. A collection of around 500 glass negatives, drawn mainly from this work, was separated out by the DAI in 1928 and donated to the Bibliotheca Hertziana. The photographs attest to Lindner's excellent understanding of architectural and urban contexts, which may have originated in his experience in military surveying. They also show his affinity with the pictorialist tendencies of photography at the time and, even more, document his fascination with the villages of central Italy and the Roman Campagna.
