Castellammare on the Gulf of Naples 1835

"Castellammare on the Gulf of Naples" (1835), a watercolor by Austrian artist Rudolf von Alt, captures a panoramic view of the Italian city. The artist’s depiction of the city, nestled amidst rolling hills and a shimmering gulf, showcases the picturesque landscapes of the region. The scene features a foreground of lush greenery, with a lone figure walking down a winding path, offering a sense of scale and inviting viewers to imagine themselves within the landscape. This painting is a prime example of Alt's mastery of landscape painting and his fascination with the natural beauty of Italy.
