Village on the Island of Ischia

Sébastien-Louis-Guillaume Norblin de la Gourdaine

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a landscape with tall green mountains filling the background. The mountains have gray, rocky peaks, above which is a strip of light blue sky. At the base of the mountains, small, square buildings in shades of white, gray, and faded terracotta sit on small hills among light brown and olive-green plants.
