About the piece

Painted in 1834 by Carl Blechen, this work beautifully captures the daily life of fishermen against the dramatic limestone cliffs and azure waters of Capri. As a master of the German Romantic movement, Blechen utilizes a warm, vibrant palette to evoke the heat and stillness of a Mediterranean afternoon.
