About the piece
Painted around 1790 by the celebrated English landscape artist Joseph Wright of Derby, this work captures Lake Nemi in a moment of tranquil twilight. The composition is anchored by a fortified building perched on a steep, wooded ridge to the left and a gracefully leaning tree to the right, all bathed in a luminous, salmon-hued atmosphere.
