"A Grotto in the Gulf of Salerno, Morning; and A Grotto in the Gulf of Salerno, Evening" are a pair of paintings by Joseph Wright of Derby, an English landscape and portrait painter who was an important figure in the development of 18th-century British art. These works, created during Wright's stay in Italy from 1773 to 1775, reflect the artist's fascination with natural phenomena and his skill in capturing the interplay of light and shadow.

The paintings depict the interior of a sea cave in the Gulf of Salerno at different times of the day, showcasing Wright's adept use of chiaroscuro to convey the dramatic contrasts between the dark recesses of the grotto and the bright illumination from the sun. "Morning" presents the cave as it is gradually lit by the emerging daylight, while "Evening" captures the serene atmosphere as the light of the setting sun fades away.

Wright's time in Italy was a period of significant artistic growth, influenced by the grandeur of the Italian landscape and the classical ruins that he encountered. These works are exemplary of his ability to blend the sublime aspects of nature with a scientific interest in optical effects, a combination that characterizes much of his oeuvre. The grotto paintings are also indicative of the 18th-century European tradition of the Grand Tour, during which artists and wealthy young men traveled to Italy to study art, culture, and the remains of classical antiquity.

"A Grotto in the Gulf of Salerno, Morning; and A Grotto in the Gulf of Salerno, Evening" are notable for their contribution to the Romantic movement in art, predating the full flowering of Romanticism by several decades. Wright's work, particularly these paintings, is often seen as a bridge between the Enlightenment focus on science and reason and the Romantic emphasis on emotion and nature's sublime power.

The paintings are held in private collections and have been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, allowing the public to appreciate Wright's unique blend of scientific curiosity and artistic beauty. These works continue to be studied for their historical significance and their place in the evolution of British art.
