Description
This artist, like his colleagues and the descendants of high society of the 18th and 19th centuries, undertook the Grand Tour to visit and capture on canvas the wonders of our beautiful Italian country.
In 1833 William Leighton Leitch (Glasgow, 1804 – London, 1883), watercolorist, painter, illustrator, traveled to the continent, passing through the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland, and finally Italy, which proved to be a key stage in his education.
While in Venice, he met and became friends with the Hungarian painter Miklós Barabás. The two traveled and painted around Lake Maggiore in 1834. After an absence of four years, during which Leitch supported himself mainly by teaching and visiting the major cities of Italy, making numerous sketches there and in Sicily, he returned to London in July 1837.
In the 1830s he visited Sicily, the period to which our fascinating watercolor is attributed.
