The Gulf of Naples with the Island of Ischia in the Distance — Josephus Augustus Knip

Josephus Augustus Knip. Painted 1818.

When Knip painted this landscape, he relied on sketches he had drawn in Italy. The result: Italy in a nutshell. The Gulf of Naples, with the island of Ischia and the volcano Epomeo in the distance, is combined with several Roman monuments: the ruins of the Colosseum (left), Nero’s aqueduct and the church of SS Quattro Coronati. The motif of the capital to the right, near the two men, derives from a sketch by Knip.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in 1815: Waterloo and King Willem I, 19th Century, Main building.
