An original 1849 watercolour painting Italian Footbridge & Tower after a Sketch by Salvator Rosa.
An interesting painting is brown wash. An inscription on the verso indicates that it is 'From a sketch of Salvator Rosa's', with a location of 'Longdon Lodge Sep-1849', presumably where the Rosa sketch was hanging.
Salvator Rosa (1615–1673) was an Italian Baroque painter, poet, and printmaker, who was active in Naples, Rome, and Florence. He was among the first to paint 'romantic' landscapes, often turbulent and rugged scenes peopled with shepherds, brigands, seamen, soldiers.
