Massa, Bay of Naples is an 1864 landscape painting by the British artist John Brett. [1] It depicts a view of the Bay of Naples which Brett had visited the previous year. [2] Brett was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. [3]
The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1864 held at the National Gallery in London. While his previous submission of the previous year Florence from Bellosguardo had been rejected from the 1863 exhibition, his 1864 works were critically acclaimed. The The Art Journal described it as "a picture of remarkable brilliant". [4] It was bought by the art collector Alfred Morrison for 250 guineas. [5] Today it is in the collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, which acquired the picture in 1964. [6]
