View of Benevento
Edmund Kanoldt1874
The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States
In the second half of the 1800s, Kanoldt achieved official recognition for his classical landscapes, decades after the death of a master of the genre, Joseph Anton Koch. Like his influential predecessor, Kanoldt went to Italy, where he made this finished view of Benevento--a town thirty miles northeast of Naples--in preparation for the commission of a lavishly illustrated travelogue, <i>Italy: A Sojourn from the Alps to Aetna, published in Stuttgart in 1876.
