Exhibited: Charlottenborg, “Udstilling af dansk Kunst fra Italien”, 1909, no. 303 entitled ”Studie fra Ischia" (Study from Ischia).

Literature: Jens Peter Munk, ”Landskabet og arkitekturen” in the exhibition catalogue “På sporet af Jørgen Roed. Italien 1837–1841”, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek 1991, note 17. Jens Peter Munk, “Jørgen Roed. Ungdomsarbejder” 2013, mentioned p. 260 and note 969.

Provenance: The artist's estate auction, 11–12 March 1895, no. I.54, here entitled ”Udsigt fra Ischia. Studie” (View from Ischia. Study), here acquired by professor, dr. med. Alexander Haslund (1844–1906); his widow, Ingeborg Haslund, née Hein (1855–1910).

In the summer of 1838, Roed and Constantin Hansen (1804–1880) made a week-long trip in the vicinity of Naples. After ten productive days in Paestum, the tour moved on to Amalfi and Sorrento, before ending with a four-day stay in Capri. From the entire last half of the trip, only a single drawing from Roed's hand has so far been known, since this oil study has been wrongly regarded as a view from Ischia since his estate auction in 1895. However, the study correctly shows the tip of the Sorrento peninsula seen from Monte Solaro on Capri and it must therefore have been painted in the days 16–20 June 1838.
