"Capri, Gebäude an einer bergaufführenden Straße" is a pencil drawing on paper created in 1826 by German artist Ernst Fries (1801-1833). The work depicts a street in the Italian city of Capri with buildings nestled into the hillside, showcasing a perspective from the lower level looking up towards the hillside town. The work, currently housed at the Städel Museum, is a quintessential example of "capriccio", a genre of artwork that often portrays imaginary or fantastical architectural scenes.
