"Already in May 1834, Fearnley returned to the Gulf of Naples. This particular summer, he stayed for the most part by Sorrento, where he was kept company by Englishmen. New trips to the islands and to the Amalfri Coast also gave new suject-ideas for his art. A number of Fearnely's highest regarded paintings from Italy were created this summer or were based on studies executed in these months."
