EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century view of the promontory of Posillipo in Naples, Italy, is a captivating work of art by the Swiss artist Abraham Louis Rodolphe Ducros. The painting, titled "View of the promontory of Posillipo with ancient palace of Queen Jeanne and countryside of Sannazar from the balcony of the inn," transports us back in time to the romantic era. The scene showcases the picturesque bay of Naples, with the curved, blue-green Mediterranean Sea meeting the land in a graceful embrace. The promontory of Posillipo, a geographical feature that juts out into the sea, is depicted with its rugged cliffs and lush greenery. In the foreground, the ancient palace of Queen Jeanne, also known as Johanna I of Naples, stands proudly on the hillside. The queen's palace, with its grand architecture and intricate details, adds a sense of history and heritage to the landscape. The painting is a masterpiece of watercolour art, with the artist skillfully capturing the play of light and shadow on the landscape. The use of chalk on paper adds texture and depth to the image. The background is filled with the bustling activity of people going about their daily lives, adding a sense of liveliness and energy to the scene. The painting is a testament to the beauty and charm of the Italian Riviera during the romantic era. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the Mediterranean coast, and to appreciate the natural and cultural heritage of this beautiful region. Today, this painting is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and continues to inspire and delight art lovers from around the world.
