Lake Nemi, sunset 

Joseph Wright of Derby's "Lake Nemi, sunset" is a captivating landscape painting. The scene, likely inspired by Wright's Grand Tour, features a tranquil lake nestled amongst rolling hills, with a distant villa perched atop a hill. The muted palette of browns and blues evokes a serene atmosphere, emphasizing the soft glow of the setting sun. Wright's mastery of light and shadow is evident, creating depth and dimension within the composition. This work exemplifies the artist's fascination with the natural world and his ability to capture the beauty of the Italian landscape.
