History and description

Following the success of his breakthrough work Napoleon on the Bellerophon in 1815, Eastlake was able to travel in Continental Europe.^[2] He eventually settled in Italy where he lived between 1816 and 1830, specialising in producing landscapes and history paintings from his studios in Rome.^[3] A friend of Turner, he continued to send paintings back to be shown at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibitions in London. He returned to England and in 1850 was elected as President of the Royal Academy.^[4]

Today it is in the collection of the Rhode Island School of Design Museum.^[5]
