This painting is an excellent example of the work of Gioacchino La Pira, a well known painter of Grand Tour tourist views in the mid nineteenth century. His à la gouache technique was used by a small group of Neapolitan painters and his emphasis on the light, liveliness and freshness of the atmosphere was achieved partly by this technique. He is known to have been active from 1839 to 1875, and he is specifically mentioned in Murray's Guide of 1837 and another handbook for travellers of 1869. His work is not common but examples appear at auction from time to time.
The painting is enhanced by a period maple frame with a gilt slip. There is no mount but the painting has its original painted lined border. The painting was remounted in the frame in 1969 by Frost and Reed (we have also remounted it to include acid-free backing). The original backboard is also in the frame and we have included a picture of it, as well as the pencil artist's name on the reverse - the painting is not signed and we do not know whether the pencil name is a signature, but there is no doubt as to authorship.
The Grotta di Pozzuoli is a tunnel built in the 1st century AD by the Romans to connect Naples to the town of Pozzuoli, an important port and also the source of a volcanic sand which made effective concrete. By La Pira's day is was still used by locals but also, at 700m long, was a popular tourist attraction. The contrasts of light around the tunnel provided a stimulating subject for painting, exploited by many artists.
Please note, the picture will be sent with acrylic glazing, which is as good as glass for display and durability, but is less easy to break. less
