Description from the seller
Exceptionally without reservation!
Spectacular painting of the 20th century.
Vividly depicts a nautical scene from a bygone era, dominated by imposing sailing ships that cut through a turbulent sea.
In the foreground stands a lavishly decorated ship, with the red, white, and blue flag fluttering in the wind and the sails billowing, some worn, a sign of battles or long voyages. The stormy sky, pierced by clouds and flashes of light, amplifies the drama of the scene, while in the distance, other vessels can be seen, adding depth to the maritime landscape.
The artist, with vigorous brushstrokes and warm colors, clearly draws inspiration from the Dutch and Flemish Seventeenth-century tradition, blending realism and heroic tension.
To complete the work, a magnificent gilded frame finely carved, decorated with acanthus leaf motifs, elegantly and majestically frames the scene, creating a perfect balance between the fury of the sea and the solemnity of art.
Please note that, given the age of the work, there may be small defects, breaks, or missing parts: natural signs of time that testify to its authenticity and history.
The photographs were taken under direct spotlight light, to highlight every detail.
Our shipments are fast, professional, and packaged in perfect protection: hence the related shipping costs.
Under the applicable regulations on artworks, shipments outside Europe (Schengen area) incur higher costs and may cause problems or delays, which are borne entirely by the buyer, unless private arrangements are agreed.
