專家說明

Little is known about the life and career of Tommaso Ruiz, but his views of Naples in the middle of the eighteenth century provide a key record of the city's development. This set of four, which must have been a significant commission, likely date to around 1740, when Ruiz returned to Naples after working in Sicily and Malta. They describe the city in vivid colour and detail, showing Naples before the demolition of the Torre di San Vincenzo and prior to the reconstruction of the port under Charles III, Duke of Bourbon. We are grateful to Dr. Ermanno Bellucci for confirming the attribution on the basis of photographs and for his kind assistance in cataloguing this lot.
