This black-and-white image shows a grand, multi-story building with rows of windows and a flat roof. In front of it, two large statues of men riding horses sit on tall pedestals. There’s a fence with gates, a few trees, and a wide, empty courtyard. The title says this is the "King’s Palace" in Naples, but the photo looks old and faded. The statues and building give it a formal, powerful feel. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this work in person.
