## Commentary

This view of Lake Nemi, looking south east across the Campagna towards Mount Circeo on the coast, is one of a series of views by Wright of lakes Nemi and Albano from the early 1790s. Wright travelled in Italy between 1773 and 1775. His experience of the Italian landscape had a profound impact on his work and inspired many of his greatest paintings in the latter years of his life.
