Scuola napoletana, XIX secolo
Naples from the sea
Gouache on paper
cm 50x70
From the 18th century onwards, and throughout the 19th century, Naples was one of the favourite destinations for the Grand Tour. The city fascinated with the vastness of its monuments, its archaeological excavations and its beautiful views.
The gouaches were souvenirs and postcards to take as a memento of the trip, they immortalised the images that most impressed travellers, coastal landscapes, Posillipo and of course Vesuvius
From what is said, narrated or painted, Naples surpasses everything: the shore, the bay, the gulf, Vesuvius, the city, the nearby countryside, the castles, the walks… I excuse all those who lose their senses at the sight of Naples!
