Claude-Joseph Vernet
The Waterfalls at Tivoli, with the Villa of Maecenas
The majority of the 200 works in William V’s collection were Dutch or Flemish, but there were a small number of Italian, German and French pieces. Of the French paintings, these two works by Vernet are undoubtedly the finest. Vernet spent a considerable amount of time in Italy and specialised in imagined Italianate landscapes and seascapes. He excelled at contrasting the insignificance of man with the majesty of nature.
Both paintings were originally in the collection of Cardinal Gonzaga of Rome. After his death, the two Vernets were put up for auction in Amsterdam, where they were purchased for Prince William V.
