Neapolitan gouaches appeared in the eighteenth century when tourism in the Naples area was developing: the discoveries of Herculaneum and Pompeii made this city a mandatory stop on the Grand Tour, the journey made by wealthy Europeans to complete their education.

Netherlands, 1817-1891 Cornelis Springer (Amsterdam, May 25, 1817 - Hilversum, February 20, 1891) was born as the fourth son of carpenter and contractor Willem Springer.
