Konrad Mägi reached Italy in the autumn of 1921 and left towards the end of summer 1922. He stayed mainly in Rome, on Capri and in Venice. 

Mägi arrived on the island of Capri on 2 March 1922 and spent 45 days there. He was truly impressed by the island, and he set to work at once. He made several sketches on the basis of which he later made paintings in his studio at home. The time spent on Capri was one of the most productive creative periods in his career: nearly twenty paintings based on impressions of Capri are known today. It is possible that some of the paintings were completed while he was on the island. The works are rather large in scale, rich in detail, with complex compositions, and characterised by thorough and meticulous brushwork. 

Attempts to identify the sites of all of the motifs have not been successful, but taking into account his prior habits of movement we can assume that he covered a rather small area.
