A Glen in Sorrento 1825 - 1873

"A Glen in Sorrento" is a watercolor painting by Thomas Hartley Cromek, completed between 1825 and 1873. The painting depicts a narrow, rocky glen in Sorrento, Italy. A stone staircase ascends the steep hillside, leading to a small building nestled among the foliage. The scene is bathed in warm sunlight, creating a sense of tranquility and beauty. Cromek's use of color and detail captures the essence of the Italian landscape, and the painting is a testament to his skill as a watercolorist. The painting is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
