Splendid pair of small paintings on canvas representing two views of the old town of Naples with a view of the Gulf. They are two 19th century jewels by an artist belonging to the Posillipo school. This current of able-bodied painters imposed itself from the 1820s onwards to satisfy the strong demand of wealthy British and American tourists wishing to take home the souvenir of their trip. These precious works, which reproduced in an academic way the panoramas of the magnificent city, were executed in small dimensions to facilitate their transport. Our two canvases offer the most representative view of Naples captured from two different angles with the incomparable landscape of its gulf. https://www.antichitaischia.it/it/prodotto/coppia-di-vedute-del-golfo-di-napoli
