Description: | From the wooded slopes of Mount Faito, the viewer looks down on the Italian town of Castellammare, which lies beside the Bay of Naples. The town's ancient ruins attracted wealthy tourists in the 19th century. The picture is one of many views of Italy painted by the watercolour artist Thomas Miles Richardson Junior. The size and spectacular detail of this view show that it was intended as a special exhibition picture. Richardson was the son of the Newcastle artist of the same name, but lived and worked in London. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1865 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Miles Richardson (Jnr.) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
