Johann Jakob Ulrich unternahm im September 1833 eine Reise an die ligurische Küste und besuchte Genua, Sestri Levante und La Spezia. Während dieser Reise entstanden Skizzen zu zwei Pendants von Sestri Levante bei Sonnenaufgang und -untergang, die Ulrich zusammen mit drei weiteren Werken 1836 zum Pariser Salon einlieferte (Kat. Nr. 1747-1751). Die beiden Sestri-Ansichten kaufte ein Pariser Mäzen Ulrichs, der Bankier Paturle, dessen Sammlung 1872 versteigert wurde. (Vgl. Hans A. Lüthy, Dissertation, Zürich 1965)
