Gezicht op een rots bij de Golf van Tarente in de buurt van Gallipoli 1778

"Gezicht op een rots bij de Golf van Tarente in de buurt van Gallipoli," a 1778 watercolor by Louis Ducros, depicts a serene landscape with rocky cliffs and distant hills. The muted colors and delicate brushstrokes create a sense of tranquility, typical of 18th-century landscape painting. The scene, likely inspired by Ducros' travels through Italy, offers a glimpse into the beauty of the Tarentine Gulf. This small-scale work (142 mm x 263 mm) is housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing art enthusiasts with a window into the artistic sensibilities of the late 18th century.
