Bonavia's paintings share with Vernet's a rococo palette of pale blues, creamy yellows, pinks and soft green, as well as an atmospheric, rather than analytical, approach to landscape. Like Vernet, Bonavia painted capricci in which real features of the Neapolitan countryside were placed in imaginary settings. Bonavia's idyllic landscapes were popular souvenirs of the Grand Tour. Among his patrons were Lord Brudenell and Graf Karl Joseph Firmian, the Austrian ambassador to Naples 1753-8.
