About the piece

Painted around 1790 by Joseph Wright of Derby, this tranquil scene depicts Lake Albano in Italy. The composition utilizes a classic framing device with a weathered tree on the left and rocky cliffs on the right, guiding the eye across the reflective water toward distant mountains under a luminous, expansive sky that exemplifies the artist's interest in light and atmosphere.
