Note du spécialiste

Renowned for his topographical views of the harbours and islands of the Mediterranean, Joseph Schranz was particularly fascinated with the citadel and town of Corfu, painting the impressive setting from a variety of viewpoints.
A similar view of Corfu from the Island of Vido by Schranz was sold in the sale of the Collection of Giorgio Marsan and Umberta Nasi at Christie's, King Street on 13 December 2007, lot 598 for £18,500.
