Painted in 1881 during Renoir's Italian sojourn, The Bay of Naples (La Baie de Naples) sweeps across the famous harbor toward Vesuvius rising in the haze beyond, the wide curve of the bay shimmering under southern sun. The composition unfolds in luminous blues, warm ochre, and creamy ivory tones, animated by the rapid, broken brushwork Renoir was reshaping as he absorbed the lessons of the Italian masters and the Mediterranean light. He painted variants of this motif in Naples and Sorrento during the winter of 1881, the trip that prefigured the more sculpted, classical manner of his later "sour period." The work stands as a luminous testament to Renoir's encounter with the South.
