A splendid, luminous view of Naples and the Darsena painted by Gaspare Vanvitelli. The reflections in the canal and the anchored ships are striking, with frenetic activity on the quayside. The clear sky is streaked with a few clouds. The picture was painted during his stay in Naples. The river stands out, flowing downstream with working-class houses along its banks. Above are palazzi brightly lit by the sun and a beautiful clear blue sky with a few clouds on the horizon. The dominant colours are brown and blue.
The painting is part of a private collection.
