Gezicht op moderne triomfboog op havenhoofd van Napels 1778

This watercolor by Louis Ducros depicts a view of the triumphal arch in Naples, Italy in 1778. The classical architecture of the arch contrasts with the more rustic details of the coastline, which includes jagged rocks jutting into the water. The painting captures a sense of tranquility, with small boats traversing the calm waters, while a larger vessel is visible in the distance. The use of muted tones gives the landscape a soft, ethereal quality. This artwork offers a glimpse into the city of Naples and its historical landmarks during the late 18th century.
