"The Grotto at Posillipo 2" is a notable work by the 18th-century Welsh landscape painter Thomas Jones (1742–1803). This painting is part of a series of works created during Jones's stay in Naples, Italy, where he lived from 1776 to 1783. The Grotto at Posillipo, a renowned landmark situated in the Posillipo district of Naples, serves as the subject of this particular piece.

Thomas Jones is celebrated for his innovative approach to landscape painting, often focusing on seemingly mundane or overlooked scenes with a remarkable sense of realism and attention to detail. "The Grotto at Posillipo 2" exemplifies Jones's departure from the idealized classical landscapes that were popular among his contemporaries, showcasing instead a more direct and personal observation of the natural and built environment.

The painting captures the rugged beauty of the coastal landscape, with the grotto itself—a natural cave that was expanded in Roman times to form a tunnel—dominating the composition. Jones's use of light and shadow, combined with his meticulous rendering of the grotto's rocky textures, creates a vivid sense of place and atmosphere.

As with many of Jones's works, "The Grotto at Posillipo 2" reflects the artist's keen interest in the effects of light and his skill in depicting the specific qualities of the Mediterranean environment. The painting is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its contribution to the development of plein air painting and the shift towards a more empirical, personal form of landscape art that would influence later artists.

"The Grotto at Posillipo 2" is held in high regard by art historians and critics for its historical importance and as an example of Jones's mature style. The work is part of a broader narrative that highlights the artist's role in the evolution of landscape painting in the late 18th century. It remains an important piece for study and appreciation within the oeuvre of Thomas Jones and the broader context of British landscape painting.
