European school (XX) - Marina

Compelling painting belonging to the Northwest European school (Dutch or Flemish taste), depicting a lively coastal marine scene under a wide, cloudy sky. In the foreground, on the rocky shore, small human figures stand out, including fishermen and crews engaged in daily activities near the vessels. The sea is ruffled by light waves on which several traditional sailing ships navigate: on the left a vessel with orange sails stands out, while on the right a larger sailing ship sails accompanied by a smaller one with a flag. In the background, other boats can be seen fading toward the horizon. The painting style is figurative and veristic, characterized by careful rendering of details, the maritime atmosphere, and the play of light between sea and sky. The work is enclosed in a finely crafted gilded frame with fluted motifs. The measurements are 30x40 cm. Mid-twentieth century. It will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Careful and traceable shipping.
