Havenhoofd van Napels, gezien vanaf de voet van de vuurtoren 1778

"Havenhoofd van Napels, gezien vanaf de voet van de vuurtoren" (Headland of Naples, seen from the foot of the lighthouse), a watercolor by Louis Ducros, is a panoramic depiction of the cityscape of Naples, Italy. The artist's keen eye for detail and light captures the vastness of the bay, with Mount Vesuvius in the distance, and a lone ship sailing into the harbor. The piece offers a glimpse into the bustling port city of Naples during the 18th century and is housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork highlights the grandeur of the port, its imposing architecture, and the beauty of the Italian coastline. It exemplifies Ducros's mastery of watercolor, a medium that allows for delicate washes and subtle gradations of color.
