Description: This wonderful oil on canvas landscape was done by the famed William Graham. William Graham was an American landscape painter who spent most of his life and career abroad. He was born in California in 1832. Graham initially learned to make watches and jewelry before he began his interest in art. He traveled abroad to study art in Paris and London and spent some time painting in Egypt as well. It wasn’t until his studies towards the middle of his life that he began to take his painting seriously. Graham settled in Italy for many years and painted landscapes and architecture, primarily of Rome and Venice, likely where this scene is depicting. Graham also spent time in Capri, near his friends and fellow artists with whom he had shared a studio.
