G. GIGANTE (1806-1876), Cave of Seiano (Posillipo), 1827, Etching Giacinto Gigante (1806 Naples - 1876 ibid.): View of the sea from the hill of the Grotta di Seiano (Posillipo), 1827, Etching Technique: Etching on Paper Inscription: lower left signed in the printing plate: "Gigante". Inscribed by another person: "Fuori Grotta". lower left dated: "1827". Date: 1827 Description: The Gulf of Naples, with its azure waters and volcanic rocky landscape, has long attracted artists and pleasure travellers to its shores. In addition to Naples and Sorrento, it was the small coastal town of Posillipo in particular that Romantic artists favoured in the 1930s. To the west and east, the slopes there offer stunning views of Naples, Mount Vesuvius and the islands and peninsulas near the coast. Depending on the location, a forest landscape and the architecture of a small settlement could even come into view, as in this brochure, while the sweeping bay of the famous gulf remains visible on the horizon. A group of landscape artists centred around Anton Smick van Pitloo (1790-1837), whose pupil was Giacinto Gigante, settled in Posillipo and founded the so-called "Posillipo School". The paintings of this group were characterised by their detailed and realistic depiction of the landscape in the Gulf region. One looks in vain for heroic exaggerations in the vedute of the "School of Posillipo", and instead finds harbour views with fishermen and country folk going about their daily lives. In view of our etching, which, apart from the prominent friar in the foreground, is sparsely populated but contains many scenic details, it is hardly surprising that Gigante also worked as a topographer during his training. The precise understanding of topographical features, the location and course of coasts and roads, as well as the accurate depiction of towns and landscape markers, were important foundations for the artist's work, whose vedutas became increasingly picturesque and romantic as he grew older.
