VIEWS OF NAPLES AREA Views from the Naples area

A very fine set of 22 gouaches depicting the landscapes of Naples and its surroundings. These views can be compared to that of Camillo de Vito and were executed by Neapolitan painters for travellers on the Grand Tour.

Naples was an essential stop on this journey. In the first quarter of the 19th century, the post-Napoleonic nobility travelled to Campania on an artistic pilgrimage to see the great achievements of the Renaissance.

Travellers therefore collected these gouaches, which were often of a high graphic quality and displayed vibrant colours.
