[ECOLE NAPOLITAINE] Vue du Vésuve depuis la baie de Naples

[ECOLE NAPOLITAINE] Vue du Vésuve depuis la baie de Naples

Italie circa. 1825, 22,5x18cm, une feuille sous marie-louise.


Original gummed print.
This print, depicting the Bay of Naples overlooking the bluish silhouette of Vesuvius, was later added to a set of Italian landscapes in an amicorum album among engravings, lithographs, drawings, and washings.
Executed in the first quarter of the 19th century, these prints summarize the stages of the "Grand Tour" of Italy, the obligatory journey of the post-Napoleonic nobility who came to Italy to make an artistic and bucolic pilgrimage to the great achievements of the Renaissance and Charming Lombard and Piedmontese mountain lakes. The European aristocracy was therefore fond of these etchings of good graphic quality enhanced by brilliant colors, which brought together the high places of architecture and the Italian countryside.
