Kaisermann’s views of Naples and its environs are comparatively rare within his oeuvre by
comparison with his depictions of Rome, Tivoli and Switzerland; however, like many of his
contemporaries, he did paint Capri, Baia, Lake Avernus, and several of the other popular artistic
destinations in the area. Another watercolour by Kaisermann of the present subject (with the same
composition as ours) was sold at Menzies Arts Brands, Sydney, 20.03.2014, Lot 67.
