Cazabon exhibited two Italian views at the Salon in 1843, "Vue prise près de Genes" and "Vue prise près Pausilippe, golfe de Naples" (the latter probably the present picture), and another Naples view in 1846.
A native of Trinidad and the island's most accomplished nineteenth century artist, Cazabon was schooled in England from 1827 to 1830. His first pictures date to his return to Trinidad in 1830 prior to his departure to Paris to study art in 1837. He spent ten years in Europe, based in Paris, and exhibited French and Italian landscapes at the Salon between 1839 and 1847, before returning to Trinidad.
