A skilled late 19th century Italian landscape painter, little is known about the formal education Giuseppe Giardiello. He developed a reputation for painting views of Naples with Vesuvius and the surrounding area as well as detailed figural scenes of folkloric festivals and tarantella dancing.
Giardiello's paintings are relatively rare and are sought after at auction with examples selling above $18,000 at Sotheby's. We are pleased to offer this atmospheric view of the Bay of Naples on a summer's afternoon with the outline of Vesuvius across the water.
