Bronze Age Gold from Wales
Italian coastal landscape
DESSOULAVY, Thomas (fl.1829-1854)
This painting probably depicts the Bay of Naples, a popular area for artists in Italy. The influence of the classical style is evident in Dessoulavy’s delicate technique, grand parasol pine-trees and panoramic vista. Dessoulavy belonged to a close circle of British artists resident in Rome, which included the Welsh artist Penry Williams.
