About the piece

In this 1879 work, Giuseppe De Nittis captures a moment of refined leisure at Posillipo. The composition masterfully contrasts the bright, tactile surface of the dinner table with the deep, atmospheric shadows of the evening, while the background reveals a serene Mediterranean coastline under a fading sunset sky.
