"Vue Du Lac Nemi Et De Genzano" is a landscape painting by the French artist Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes (1750–1819), who is considered a pivotal figure in the development of plein air painting and was a key influence in the evolution of landscape art during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This work is one of Valenciennes' many depictions of the Italian countryside, which he studied extensively during his time in Rome as a Prix de Rome laureate.

The painting captures a serene view of Lake Nemi, a small volcanic crater lake in the Alban Hills, south of Rome, and the town of Genzano situated on its slopes. Valenciennes' mastery in rendering atmospheric effects and his meticulous attention to the details of natural light and color are evident in this piece. He often sought to convey the specific qualities of a landscape at different times of the day and under varying weather conditions, which was a departure from the idealized landscapes that were prevalent in earlier art.

"Vue Du Lac Nemi Et De Genzano" exemplifies Valenciennes' commitment to accurately depicting nature and his advocacy for landscape painting as a respected genre in its own right. His work laid the groundwork for the plein air movement and influenced a generation of artists, including those associated with the Barbizon School and the Impressionists, who also sought to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere.

The painting is a testament to Valenciennes' belief that direct observation of nature was essential for the creation of a convincing landscape, a philosophy he articulated in his influential treatise "Éléments de perspective pratique à l'usage des artistes," published in 1800. "Vue Du Lac Nemi Et De Genzano" not only showcases the artist's technical skill but also reflects the broader shift in the art world towards a more empirical and experiential approach to depicting the natural world.
