Sobre el cuadro
Nicolas-Antoine Taunay (1755-1830) was born in Paris where he trained in the studio of Nicolas-Bernard Lépicié (1735-1784) and subsequently of Nicolas-Guy Brenet (1728-1792) and Francesco Casanova (1727-1803). He travelled in Europe and the patronage of Joseph-Marie Vien (1716-1809), the director of the Académie de France in Rome, enabled him to study in Rome in 1784-7. In January 1816 Nicolas Taunay, with his brother, the sculptor Auguste-Marie Taunay (1768-1824), went to Brazil to help found an Academy of Fine Arts in Rio de Janeiro. He was made a member of the Légion d'honneur in 1824.

This painting is a fine example of Taunay's output during his 5-year stay in Brazil between 1816 and 1821 and is part of a group of landscapes recording various Brazilian town views and sceneries around Rio de Janeiro. The luminous and light palette, harmonious composition and atmospheric sky are characteristic of landscape paintings fashionable under the Consulate and Empire.
