Gezicht op een paleis aan de kust in Napels c. 1700 - 1710

This anonymous etching from around 1700-1710 depicts a grand palace situated along the coast of Naples. The artist, unknown, utilizes a distinct perspective, drawing the viewer's eye down the long pathway toward the palace, which recedes into the distance. The foreground features a group of figures walking towards the palace, creating a sense of depth and scale. The etching’s composition, with its clear lines and precise details, exemplifies the visual qualities characteristic of the Baroque period. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a glimpse into the architectural grandeur and coastal landscapes of 18th century Naples.
