About the piece

Painted in 1816 by Pierre-Athanase Chauvin, this landscape depicts a convent nestled on a lush hillside near Naples. The composition leads the eye past figures on a sun-drenched terrace toward the hazy silhouette of Capri on the horizon, blending classical architectural forms with the soft light of the Italian coast.
