Reggio Calabria (Calabria, Italy) in a 19th century painting by Henry Jaeckel.

"Reggio is indeed one vast garden, and doubtless one of the loveliest spots to be seen on earth. A half-ruined castle, beautiful in colour and picturesque in form, overlooks all the long city, the wide straits, and snow-topped Etna volcano on the island of Sicily beyond."

- Edward Lear, Journals of a Landscape Painter in Southern Calabria, 1852

Henry Jaeckel, Aragonese Castle of Reggio Calabria with view of the Mount Aetna and Sicily, 1853

HENRY VICTOR LESUR: “Flower seller"

Lesur began painting in 1885. Many of his paintings were on small wooden panels. 18th century painters such as Jean Onure Fragonard and Francois Boucher were among his inspirational predecessors.

A famous Boilly painting explained

Another pearl from the Fondation Napoleon, in English this time! :

https://www.napoleon.org/en/history-of-the-two-empires/paintings/the-downpour-laverse/

I’ve seen this painting many times, but this comes with comments and context which makes it even more interesting. 

I noticed that the plank on which the main subjects are depicted is on wheels, which would logically indicate that it does not span the width of the street. This stands to reason, otherwise the circulation of carts and carriages would be made impossible. In reality, then, people would be wheeled across the street on these planks.

I wonder how many people found themselves thrown from such a plank if one of its wheels struck a large pebble and jerked to a stop.

"Catanzaro must be one of the healthiest spots in Southern Italy; perhaps it has no rival in this respect among the towns south of Rome. The furious winds, with which my acquaintances threatened me, did not blow during my stay, but there was always more or less breeze, and the kind of breeze that refreshes. I should like to visit Catanzaro in the summer; probably one would have all the joy of glorious sunshine without oppressive heat, and in the landscape in those glowing days would be indescribably beautiful.

I remember with delight the public garden at Cosenza, its noble view over the valley of the Crati to the heights of Sila; that of Catanzaro is in itself more striking, and the prospect it affords has a sterner, grander note. Here you wander amid groups of magnificent trees, an astonishingly rich and varied vegetation; and from a skirting terrace you look down upon the precipitous gorge, burnt into barenness save where a cactus clings to some jutting rock. Here in summer-time would be freshness amid noontide heat, with wondrous avenues of golden light breaking the dusk beneath the boughs. I shall never see it; but the desire often comes to me under northern skies, when I am weary of labour and seek in fancy a paradise of idleness."

By the Ionian Sea: Notes of a Ramble in Southern Italy, George Gissing (1901)
