Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.
T. S. Eliot

"Summer Evening, Landscape in Italy," Claude-Joseph Vernet, 1773.
Vernet was a landscape and marine painter of the Neoclassical school. This work, from late in his career, is one of several Italian landscapes. While it seems fanciful, it's been proposed that this is multiple true views pulled together into one composition.
From the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo.
