Pasquale Vuotto (1958) - Pescatore a Mergellina

Oil on canvas, 70x50, with frame 80x100 cm. Signed at the bottom and signed on the back, with a description of the location: 1993
Complete with its period frame, in excellent condition. A Florentine frame from the period, being removed due to lack of space.
It will be given as a gift with the painting, so if it arrives damaged because of careless couriers, I would not want negative feedback. In any case, I will use plenty of bubble wrap and cardboard.
If you prefer, I can also ship just the canvas, with your consent, but I repeat: the frame is an original Italian frame from the period, not one of those Chinese ones made nowadays that weigh a ton!

The work depicts an evocative Mediterranean seascape, likely inspired by the coast of Campania, featuring a village perched on a cliff, with historic buildings in warm terracotta tones.
In the foreground, gozzi boats bob on the calm waters of the harbor. On the blue boat in the foreground and on the white-and-yellow one a little farther away, some fishermen are busy mending their fishing nets.
The style evokes Impressionist painting and 19th-century Neapolitan art, with a rich, textured impasto (oil palette-knife technique) that gives the rocks, the buildings' volumes, and the rippling movement of the water a strong sense of depth. The warm light of sunset or early morning caresses the façades of the houses and the cliff, creating a harmonious contrast with the sea's shades of blue, indigo, and violet.

Complete with certificate of authenticity with photo!
Brochure and my authenticity stamp
In this corner of Mergellina, painted in the colors of memory, time seems to have stood still. The canvas holds an intimate, silent dialogue, a passing of the torch between generations, redolent of sea salt and the hardships of old.
The fisherman and the sea: Seated beside his blue boat, resting on dry land like a tired creature at rest, the elderly fisherman embodies the wisdom of the sea. His face and hands bear the marks of a life spent sailing the waves, at the mercy of the wind and the stars.
Youth and hope: Beside him, a young man or boy bends down gently, as if trying to listen to the secrets of that wooden shell and the stories of a distant horizon. It is the future meeting the deep roots of Neapolitan seafaring tradition.
The light and atmosphere: In the background, the houses and the coastline fade into a tender, melancholy haze, while the boat's intense colors draw the eye, becoming the focal point of a simple yet immense world.
