A Village on Ischia (Fontana?)

Léon Fleury French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 805

The bold geometry of this view is underpinned by distinct zones of light and shadow, realized in a limited range of colors and hues applied with broad strokes of the brush. Fleury visited the Bay of Naples and Ischia with Corot in spring 1828. During his Italian sojourn (1827–29) he also painted alongside Aligny and Édouard Bertin; they had become friends in Paris while studying with the landscape painter Jean Victor Bertin.
