About the piece

Painted around 1860 by James Baker Pyne, this luminous oil on canvas captures the quiet grandeur of Lake Maggiore. The work features a masterful handling of light and mist as figures go about their day on the shore and in a traditional boat, set against the dramatic backdrop of a hilltop castle and the receding peaks of the Alps.
