The dramatic lighting and atmospheric quality of this work recall famed landscapes by the 17th-century French painter Claude Lorrain. This example dates to the 18th or 19th century and borrows numerous architectural, human, and maritime features from Claude's paintings of ancient Mediterranean seaports, many of which are on display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.
