Marina piccola, Capri 1874

Edward Theodore Compton's 1874 watercolor, "Marina Piccola, Capri," is a beautiful depiction of the Italian island's dramatic coastline. The painting captures the rocky cliffs and clear blue waters, with a small tower perched high above the shore. The artist uses delicate brushstrokes and soft hues to create a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The lone fisherman in the foreground adds a sense of solitude and contemplation to the scene. This work is a testament to Compton's skill in capturing the beauty and tranquility of nature, and it offers a glimpse into the scenic wonders of Capri.
