Present painting is one of the many which include the antique theatre in Taormina. Already in Febuary 1901, the Krøyer family travelled to Sicily, where they met up with Heinrich and Pauline Hirschprung. During the visit, Krøyer received notice, that he had been given an honorary, lifelong presentation of 3000 Crowns a year. (He had been part of the State Budget). As the Krøyer family spent a lot of money, this was very good news. Later that year, the family went to Norway, where Krøyer painted his portrait of Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and Marie stayed at a health resort in Larvik. Krøyers 50th birthday in Norway, with e.g. Holger Drachmann og Agnes Slott-Møller. In August the family went to Tyrol. The visit was brief. Marie and Vibeke went to Naples to celebrate Christmas there, Søren went to Skagen via Berlin. Provenance: G. A. Hagemann, who among others initiated that Krøyer paint the pictures of the Stock Exchange(Børsbilledet) and The Men of Industry (Industriens mænd.)
H. Chr. Christensens fortegnelse nr. 695. Nærværende maleri er et blandt flere, hvori det antikke teater i Taormina indgår. Allerede i februar 1901 drog familien Krøyer til Sicilien, hvor de mødtes med Heinrich og Pauline Hirschsprung. Under opholdet modtog Krøyer besked om, at han var blevet tildelt en livsvarig hædersgave på 3.000 kr. om året. (Han var kommet på finansloven). Gode nyheder, for familien Krøyer brugte mange penge. Senere samme år var familien i Norge, her udførte Krøyer sit portræt af Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson og Marie var på kurophold i Larvik. I Norge blev også Krøyers 50-årsdag fejret med bl.a. Holger Drachmann og Agnes Slott-Møller. Proveniens: Godsejer G. A. Hagemann, der bl.a. var en af initiativtagerne til, at Krøyer malede Børsbilledet og Industriens mænd. Afbildet
