At Sorrentum, the Rocks is a 1778 watercolor by Thomas Jones, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a quiet rocky shore near Sorrento. The colors are soft, mostly pale blues and grays. A few small boats float near the rocks. Jones painted this during his years in Italy. He left many sketches behind. Most folks now know him for his oils, not watercolors. His work looks close to John Robert Cozens. He often painted Italian scenes. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see Cozens’ watercolors too.
Jones’s watercolour *At Sorrentum, the Rocks* presents a coastal scene featuring a bay enclosed by steep sea cliffs, with a small town visible along the distant shoreline.
