About this piece
An enchanting Italian landscape near Naples unfolds before your eyes. In the background, the serene Gulf of Naples and the majestic Island of Ischia with the towering Epomeo volcano create a breathtaking vista. The foreground is dominated by the ancient ruins of a Roman aqueduct, telling tales of history long past. To the right, a road paved with large stones leads your gaze to a distant monastery perched atop a hill. On this road, a priest stands in conversation with a man accompanied by two loyal dogs, adding life to this picturesque scene.
