Question

what is the significance of bay of naples in the story 'The last leaf'​

Answer 1

the Bay of Naples symbolizes life. Painting it is Johnsy's dream, and when she realizes she doesn't want to die, she reminds Sue that she wants to paint the bay. The bay is often depicted in paintings—such as Robert Walter Weir's (1803–89) c. 1830 "Bay of Naples" and Pierre-August Renoir's (1841–1919) 1881 painting of the same name—as stunningly beautiful, lit with an almost magical Southern Italian light.
