SEA WITH VESUVIUS IN THE BACKGROUND
In the summer of 1874, Mariano Fortuny found the Tyrrhenian sea to be a constant stimulus for painting outdoors.
The cobalt-blue of the expanse of water is the predominant feature of this seascape, depicted from off the coast of Sorrento or Capri.
Visible in the background is the bay of Naples with Mount Vesuvius.
