Rots en stad Scilla in de regio Calabrië aan de westkust 1778

"Rots en stad Scilla in de regio Calabrië aan de westkust" (Rocks and the City of Scilla in the Calabria region on the west coast) is a watercolor painting created by Louis Ducros in 1778. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, captures the dramatic coastal landscape of Scilla, Italy. Ducros, known for his detailed and atmospheric depictions of landscapes, expertly portrays the towering cliffs, the fortified city perched atop them, and the boats resting on the calm water below. This picturesque scene exemplifies the romanticism of 18th-century landscape art.
