Georg Emil Libert (1820–1908), View from the Blue Grotto, Capri, Italy, pastel on paper, H. 24 cm; W. 33 cm, signed lower right.
A Danish painter trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Georg Emil Libert belongs to the generation of Nordic artists who, in the 19th century, undertook the Grand Tour to Italy, captivated by the Mediterranean light and southern landscapes. Initially influenced by the Danish Romantic school, his work evolved toward a more sensitive plein air painting, where the precision of drawing combines with a luminous and contemplative atmosphere.
In View from the Blue Grotto on Capri, Libert captures a suspended moment at the entrance of the famous Blue Grotto, where the contrast between the cave’s shadow and the turquoise brilliance of the sea creates a mesmerizing play of reflections.
Through the delicacy of pastel and the accuracy of tonal values, Libert conveys the full poetry of Italian light. This landscape, at once realistic and imbued with lyricism, reflects his vision as a traveling artist.
