About the piece

Painted in 1835 by Martinus Rørbye, this serene landscape depicts a quiet terrace overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento. The composition features a striking interplay of light and shadow across the white stone architecture, framed by the lush foliage of a central tree and the distant, hazy cliffs of the Italian coast.
