John 'Warwick' Smith was in Italy from 1776 until 1781, but continued to make small watercolour views of Italy throughout the 1780s and 1790s. These culminated in his Select Views in Italy, a series of engravings published from 1792-1796. As well as views of Rome and Naples, Smith made many watercolours of the Amalfi Coast. This examples is distinguished by the lively way he has captured some weather as it starts to role in off the Bay of Salerno.
