Souvenir From The Grand Tour, 19th-century Neapolitan Gouache
Golf in Naples, Neapolitan school, mid-19th century.
This gouache is one of the typical souvenirs that young aristocrats brought back in their luggage following their Grand Tour.
The Grand Tour was a journey—a rite of passage in many respects—that young European nobles were expected to undertake from the 16th through the 19th centuries. It served to sharpen individual perceptions and refine one’s taste. With Pompeii and Herculaneum nearby, Naples was an essential destination for these young travelers.
This gouache on paper is presented in its original Pitch-Pin frame.
Dimensions of the artwork : 25.5 cm x 40 cm / Dimensions including the frame : 38.5 cm x 53 cm
There is a slight flaw in the upper right corner.
