Gezicht op Castel Sant'Elmo en het klooster vanaf Chiaja 1778

This watercolor by Louis Ducros, created in 1778, captures the cityscape of Naples with a focus on Castel Sant'Elmo. Ducros was known for his detailed and accurate depictions of architecture and landscapes, which can be seen in the precise rendering of the buildings and the distant view of the castle. This artwork showcases the artist's talent for capturing the atmospheric quality of a place, and the details of the architecture and the surrounding environment are reminiscent of a bygone era. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the enduring appeal of Ducros's work.
