This is a rarely seen Copley Fielding, with most of his works being British scenes in the Romantic manner, landscapes with ruined castles, seascapes with windswept waves, views in the rugged northern wilderness. A small number depict overseas scenes, and these were imaginative works created from sketches made by those who took the trip; apparently, Copley Fielding never left Britain!

There’s evidence of this in the unrealistic view of the Tholos of Delphi with much of the structure remaining; see our Blog Post for more on this interesting subject >>
