Nocturnal Seascape of the Bay of Naples with Mount Vesuvius

This item is an oil on canvas or board painting depicting a nocturnal panoramic view of the Bay of Naples. The composition features a dramatic night sky with a bright moon partially obscured by heavy clouds, casting a strong reflection onto the calm waters below. In the mid-ground, the iconic silhouette of the twin-peaked Mount Vesuvius dominates the horizon, with city lights shimmering orange and gold along the coastline. The foreground contains architectural elements of a coastal town, possibly Sorrento or Naples, with buildings rendered in earthy ochre and sienna tones. A tall stone pine tree anchors the left side of the frame. The painting is executed in a late 19th to mid-20th-century European landscape style, characterized by thick impasto highlights to represent city lights and moonlight. The work is housed in a contemporary mid-century style wooden frame with a broad tan matting and a white inner fillet. There are no visible signatures in this view, though it appears to be a professionally rendered tourist or decorative landscape typical of the Italian school. The condition appears stable, though there is potential light surface grime and minor scuffing on the frame edges consistent with age.
