Description

Northern Italian School (early 19th century)
Harbour Scene
Watercolour on paper laid on card

The scene of an ancient, fortified harbour appears to date from the time of the Kingdom of Italy (Napoleonic) period, around 1805-1814. The vessel (Galley) on the left of the picture has three cannon protruding from the front of the ship. Beyond the moored ships at the mouth of the harbour are a row of houses with hills in the distance. The location has not been identified but it has been suggested a possible match might be the ancient post of Cassone, near the small town of Malcesine (Garda Lake).
