About the piece
Created around 1790, this work by Joseph Wright of Derby demonstrates the artist's celebrated mastery of atmospheric light. The composition features the dramatic terrain of the Roman Campagna, with a castle perched high above the reflective waters of Lake Nemi, all bathed in the soft, golden warmth of the departing sun.
