Description: | Signed: yes Description: This is one of four paintings which Antonio Zucchi made for the Music Room. This lively scene is believed to show Naples' port. Before he came to England in 1766, Zucchi had travelled to Naples in order to study the ancient ruins. It is more likely, however, to be a generic scene. Zucchi signed and dated the painting on the lower centre part of the canvas. This feature suggests he was particularly proud of this work. The juxtaposition between the distant calm sea view and the crumbling temple certainly makes it the most balanced composition of the four. | Subjects: | marine; townscape (Italy); landscape; figure; trade and industry | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zucchi, Antonio (Italian painter and printmaker, 1726-1796) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8689... | Go to resource |
