the subject of the present drawing, stemming from the artist’s<br />
first sicilian voyage under the patronage of King ludwig i<br />
of Bavaria, depicts a bay east of Palermo with a view of Monte<br />
catalfano in the background.<br />
“through his own ambition not to be contented with the<br />
mere reproduction of nature, but rather to arrange and form<br />
the manifold details to a greater whole, he [rottmannn] gave<br />
the art of landscape a new dimension.” *<br />
