Carl Morgenstern, Küste von Capri, 1862, Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen - Sammlung Schack München, URL: https://www.sammlung.pinakothek.de/en/artwork/Qlx2dnnGXq (Last updated on 19.06.2023)

Morgenstern, who came from a family of artists in Frankfurt am Main, spent the period 1834 to 1837 in Italy. Drawings and painted studies he made there formed the basis of many later pictures, some of which he varied or replicated a long time afterwards. The view shown here combines striking rock formations from a study of the southern Capri coast near the Marina Piccola with the foreground and fishing boats from a depiction of the Marina Grande on the island’s northern coast.
