Count Girolamo Pieri Nerli's painting "Vailima 1892, Home of Robert Louis Stevenson on Samoa" is a significant work that captures the essence of the renowned Scottish author's residence during his time in the South Pacific. Robert Louis Stevenson, famed for literary classics such as "Treasure Island" and "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde," moved to Samoa in 1889 in search of a climate that would alleviate his chronic health issues. There, he built a grand estate named Vailima, which became his home until his death in 1894.

Nerli, an Italian-born artist who spent much of his career in Australia and New Zealand, visited Samoa in the early 1890s. His stay coincided with Stevenson's residency, and the two men developed a friendship. This relationship provided Nerli with unique access to Stevenson and his surroundings, allowing him to create a series of works that offer a rare visual insight into the author's life in Samoa.

"Vailima 1892" is particularly notable for its detailed depiction of Stevenson's home, set against the lush, tropical backdrop of the Samoan landscape. The painting not only reflects the physical beauty of the location but also conveys a sense of tranquility and seclusion that Stevenson sought. The estate, with its distinctive colonial architecture, stands as a testament to Stevenson's efforts to integrate into the local culture while maintaining a semblance of his European heritage.

Nerli's work is valued not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance. It provides a visual documentation of a pivotal period in Stevenson's life, offering insights into his personal environment and the broader cultural context of late 19th-century Samoa. Today, "Vailima 1892" is appreciated by art historians and literary scholars alike, serving as a bridge between the visual and literary arts, and enriching our understanding of Robert Louis Stevenson's final years.
