"Voyages Pittoresque ou, Description des royaumes de Naples et de Sicile" is a print by Jean Claude Richard, Abbé de Saint-Non. The artwork, created between 1781 and 1786, depicts a bustling harbor scene in Naples, Italy, with numerous ships and a large fountain. The detailed, finely rendered lines showcase the skill of the artist and offer a glimpse into the architectural and social life of Naples during the 18th century. This print is a testament to the artistic documentation of historical places and the artistic movement of picturesque travel. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this piece.
