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 painted numerous vedute of Venice, Naples and its surroundings, and romantic views of Amalfi and its coast, similar to the one we are here presenting.
