The Grand Tour

We’re having our own Grand Tour here…. fascinating Art & Artifacts which caught the attention of the Georgian Gentry, and still have enormous appeal.

Pompeii Villa, signed ‘Vincenzo Loria’ (1850-1939). Loria was an Italian artist of the late 19th/early 20th century. His works would have sold to the ‘Grand Tourists’ visiting, and most popular subjects reflect this: the Bay of Naples is prominent amongst his recorded output. Pompeii, however, seems to be scarce, with just a single example in the online auction records. This other examples is dated 1917, and comparable to our example for dating purposes.
