General specifications by Belvedere (© Copyright - by Belvedere - Belvedere)

We went to Capri to stay there for two days. but as we were the first day there was a very violent storm at sea that we could not go back; we had to stay there for eight days. Why he could experience the sea in such an intense blue This entry in Blechen's diary says. During this unintentionally long stay, the painter made several sketches, which he later heranzog for representing the sprawling bay on the north side of the island. In the middle of bushes almost hidden, you can see the fishing village of Marina Grande, at the end of the island rises above the Tiberiusfelsen Villa Jovis. Distance on the horizon takes shadowy offshoot of the Sorrento peninsula. Sheets refrained from using a meticulous drawing to describe the terrain or characterize trees and bushes, but he designed the view alone with the brush. Colorful shadows and pale colors illustrate an area in the scorching sunlight. A little later, the German painter was appointed professor of landscape painting at the Berlin Academy. The painting acquired the poetess Bettina von Arnim. [Sabine Grabner 8/2009]
