Wilson visited Lake Nemi, some twenty miles southeast of Rome in the Alban Hills, in 1754. This painting probably dates to 1756 or 1757, either just before or after he returned to London. The view, which combines topographical accuracy and picturesque idealization, is bathed in a soft, golden light that follows the precedent of artists active in Rome in the seventeenth century, especially Claude Lorrain.
