Catalogue Note
Son of an art dealer, Franz-Richard Unterberger studied painting in Munich in the 1850s, and then moved to Dusseldorf in the 1860s where he focused on mountain landscapes. He is perhaps best-known for his vedute of Venice, Amalfi and Naples, of which this is a particularly impressive example.
