"Capri Girl on Rooftop" is among the series of paintings where he captured lively rooftop scenes featuring dancing, painting, and entertainment. The central figure in this painting is Rosina Ferrara, a beloved model admired for her beauty by many artists. She performs the tarantella, a traditional folk dance expressing themes of love, set against the backdrop of the evening sky. Sargent's approach avoids sentimental storytelling about Capri, instead emphasizing color, light, and composition to create a distinct mood.
“In Capri, housetops are the world,” famously wrote Sargent.
This is a remastered print of the original painting which was an oil on canvas and created circa 1878.
