About this piece
back to topA 19th Century Grand Tour Watercolour of Foro Civile Pompeii.
A view of Pompeii, taken on a bright summer day. The distinct double peak of Mount Vesuvius sweeps down behind the ancient ruins.
A calming, gentle colour palette makes for a pleasing scene, far from the volcanoes violent history.
The painting is signed to bottom right corner but remains unidentified. Captured in the late 1800s, long before fences, barriers and tourists.
Presented in a complementary guilt frame with a white mount.
