Rudolf von Alt studied from 1825 at the Vienna Academy, among others Josef Mössmer (1780 to 1845), but his real teacher was his father Jacob Alt (from 1789 to 1872), in whose studio he had worked as a child. From 1824 took father and son long walks through Austria and northern Italy, built on it numerous watercolors of cityscapes and landscapes. 1835 she led a trip to the south of Italy. The result was should serve a large number of watercolors, which, however, were not intended for sale, but the paintings executed in oil as a study. The southern sun, the intensity of the twenty-three Rudolf Alt here saw for the first time, was not without effect in the implementation on the sheet: Shadows suddenly received color, purple were tinted or blue. In watercolor that of the present view of the port of Naples as a template (private property), admired served L. v. Hevesi especially the "miraculous clarity of the fountain and air Wehens". The oil painting with the same cut was very likely soon after returning to Vienna. The presentation is spatially clearly recognized: The diagonally into reaching into the picture Kai with the red building on the right is a balanced counterpart to the wide expanse of the sea. As delicate gray-blue silhouette towering Vesuvius stands out on the horizon and emphasizes the physical distance to the port. but the short shadows reveal that it is here to view during lunch hours at a time, then, when the sun enveloped the country in bright light. As much as it understood Alt in the same time created watercolors to translate the phenomenon sunlight color, so he held north imprint in this oil painting still on the cool, almost neo-classical colors.
