Description

Renoir’s The Bay of Naples captures the luminous beauty of the Italian coastline with Impressionist vibrancy. From a balcony vantage point, the scene unfolds with Mount Vesuvius rising in the distance, its plume of smoke drifting into the sky. The harbor shimmers under the southern light, rendered in fluid, expressive brushstrokes that evoke warmth and movement. Renoir’s fascination with Italy’s atmosphere is evident in his radiant palette, transforming a familiar landscape into a poetic vision.
