The Palazzo Reale and the Harbor, Naples

ca. 1810–15
Not on view
This sketch was painted between 1810 and 1815, during Dunouy’s second Italian sojourn. It served as a study for View of the Palazzo Reale from Santa Lucia, which belonged to Napoleon’s sister Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples (it is now in the Palazzo Reale). Dunouy’s views of Naples were as highly prized by Grand Tourists as they were by the royal patrons whose support enhanced his success.
