A splendid, panoramic view of Lake Como. Catering to the foreigners flocking to the region on The Grand Tour, this hand-painted print beautifully depicts the famed, picturesque lake, with rich bands of blue highlighting the water and sky, with the surrounding hills and mountains dotted with luxurious villas. The view looks north up the lake towards Switzerland from above Bellagio, which occupies the point at which the lake divides in two. Item #42495
