Gezicht op Trani gelegen aan de kust 1778

This watercolor by Louis Ducros, created in 1778, depicts the coastal city of Trani, Italy. The artist, known for his detailed and accurate depictions of landscapes, captures the city's architecture, including a prominent tower and a line of buildings along the waterfront. The scene is rendered in soft, muted tones, with a hazy sky and calm sea, creating a sense of tranquility. The small figures in the foreground add a human scale to the composition. Ducros’s work, including this piece, can be found in collections worldwide, reflecting his influential role in the development of landscape painting.
