About the piece
Painted around 1770 by Richard Wilson, this serene landscape depicts the Lago d'Agnano with the distant silhouette of Mount Vesuvius. The work exemplifies the 'Grand Tour' aesthetic, blending classical composition with a sensitive, atmospheric treatment of light and shadow characteristic of the Welsh master.
