Description from the seller
Renato Longanesi – "Cutty Sark" 1974
Great painting depicting the famous British clipper Cutty Sark in navigation, made with notable attention to the details of the rigging and sailing maneuvers. The work belongs to the tradition of figurative marine painting of the second half of the 20th century, characterized by a dynamic representation of the sea and an accurate technical rendering of the vessel.
The signature "R. Longanesi" is visible at the bottom right, while on the back there is a handwritten inscription reporting the title Cutty Sark and a date traceable to 1974.
The work shows a good knowledge of nautical iconography and fits into the tradition of European seascape painting of the 20th century, with references to the Anglo-Saxon maritime school.
