Vasily Shterenberg and Evgraf Sorokin in their genre compositions described the life of the inhabitants of Naples, and Vasily Tropinin and Pimen Orlov painted portraits of Russian celebrities, the backdrop of which was the magnificent volcano Vesuvius, at the foot of which Naples was located.

The famous landscapes of Sylvester Shchedrin with images of the Naples embankment, bays and bays of the vicinity of the city, their unusual lighting are fanned with silence and tranquility, which have always been characteristic of southern nature.
