"View on the Galleria di Sopra above Lake Albano" is a notable watercolor landscape painting by the English artist John Robert Cozens (1752–1797). Created during the late 18th century, this work is part of Cozens's Italian series, which he produced while traveling through Italy from 1776 to 1779. The painting is esteemed for its atmospheric effects and the artist's innovative approach to landscape painting, which influenced the Romantic movement and later artists such as J.M.W. Turner.

The artwork depicts a serene and evocative scene of the Galleria di Sopra, a pathway located above Lake Albano in the region of Lazio, near Rome. Cozens's mastery in rendering the sublime beauty of the natural landscape is evident in the delicate interplay of light and shadow, the nuanced gradations of color, and the expansive sense of space. His technique involved subtle washes of color and a restrained palette, which helped to convey the ethereal and transient qualities of the Italian countryside.

"View on the Galleria di Sopra above Lake Albano" is considered a significant example of Cozens's work, showcasing his contribution to the development of watercolor as a serious medium for landscape painting. The piece reflects the artist's preoccupation with mood and atmosphere, which was a departure from the more detailed and topographically accurate works of his contemporaries. Cozens's landscapes are often characterized by a poetic and contemplative quality that invites viewers to reflect on the sublime aspects of nature.

The painting is held in high regard for its historical and artistic value, representing a key moment in the evolution of British watercolor and prefiguring the Romantic emphasis on emotion and the sublime in art. As such, it is frequently studied within the context of British landscape painting and 18th-century art history, and it continues to be exhibited in art galleries and museums, offering inspiration to both art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
