This photograph, titled "Gezicht op Capri" (View of Capri), was taken by the Fratelli Alinari, a famous Italian photography studio, sometime between 1880 and 1895. The image captures the picturesque coastline of Capri, showcasing the dramatic cliffs, the quaint town nestled below, and the calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The composition, featuring a foreground of large rocks leading the eye toward the distant town and imposing cliffs, creates a sense of depth and grandeur. This photograph is a prime example of the Alinari's expertise in capturing the beauty of Italian landscapes, a testament to the studio's significant contribution to the development of photographic documentation of art and culture.
