Entrance to the Grotto of Posillipo n.d. After Hubert Robert French Located on the route from Naples to Pozzuoli, the Grotto of Posillipo was a popular destination for travelers to Italy in the eighteenth century. Hubert Robert visited the site in 1760, on a trip he took with the abbé de Saint-Non (1727-1791). The studies he made there are today documented only by a watercolor held in a private collection (London, Christies, December 12, 1985, lot 324) and an etching by Clément-Pierre Marillier and Emmanuel J. N. de Ghendt for Saint-Nons Voyage pittoresque ou description des royaumes de Naples et de Sicile (1781, tome I, p. 82, no 37). The attribution of the Mets sheet, however, raises some questions. The drawing was made by applying brown ink and wash over a red chalk counterproof (an impression made by pressing damp paper against a red chalk drawing, resulting in a paler image in reverse). The original red chalk drawing, from which the counterproof was taken, has not been located.

A Figure Resting in a Ruined Tower John Sell Cotman British 1810-40 Cotman may have created this evocative image of an isolated, ruined tower during a sketching session, or as a teaching tool. For much of his career, the artist supported himself as a drawing master in his home town of Norwich and then, from 1834, as Master of landscape drawing at King's College School in London. During regular tours in England, Wales and Normandy, he sought out medieval architecture and drew forms in silhouette, emphasizing ornamented doors and windows. In this romantic image, a lone figure rests on the steps of a decayed structure whose cliffside position seem precarious. A counterpoint of dark and light moves from a small window that pierces a bright stone wall, into the shadowed interior of the ruin. Small birds soaring at right accentuate scale and the void of the adjacent valley. View more. A Figure Resting in a Ruined Tower. John Sell Cotman (British, Norwich 1782-1842 London). 1810-40.
