Abstract
In 1814 the young Francesco Zerilli (1793-1837) in his twenties painted two watercolours representing some military vessels. That was an isolated but interesting case in his production, usually consisting in landscapes, without other particular references. He marked the change from the past to the new, the transition from the eighteenth Vedutism to the nineteenth century landscape painting, that will be led in Sicily by Francesco Lojacono (1838-1915).
