Sorrento 1869

Nikolai Ge's 1869 painting "Sorrento" captures the beauty of the Italian coastline. The artist, known for his realist landscape paintings, depicts a serene scene of a small town nestled against a rocky cliff. The warm hues of the setting sun bathe the water in a golden glow, reflecting off the calm sea and casting long shadows on the shore. A lone fisherman in a boat adds a sense of solitude to the scene. "Sorrento" is a testament to Ge's masterful use of light and color, and his ability to evoke a sense of place and tranquility.
