Description: | In August 1862, the artist William Bell Scott visited Lake Nemi during a tour of Italy. He was accompanied by the Pre-Raphaelite writer William Michael Rossetti. Nemi was described in Latin literature as a home of the gods, and attracted artists and classically educated tourists for this reason. This picture is painted in the bright, detailed style characteristic of Pre-Raphaelite landscape scenes. The picture was once in the collection of the Newcastle collector James Leathart. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists watercolours art | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
