Da Salvator Rosa (XIX) (Reca firma Michel Legrande) - Marina con pescatori e rovine

Elegant and scenographic 19th-century copy after Salvator Rosa (1615–1673), master of Neapolitan baroque known for his stormy seascapes, dramatic landscapes, and romantic ruins.

The work, created by a painter of the Italian school from the late 19th century, accurately and richly detailedly captures the theatrical taste, chiaroscuro, and atmospheres typical of Rosa:
ruins in the foreground
Calm sea with boats.
fishermen figures
mountains in the background
Warm and piercing light typical of the Baroque.

The composition is very balanced and executed with confident skill. The details of the architectures, boats, and figures demonstrate good craftsmanship, as was typical of 'painter of manner' artists active in the nineteenth century who drew on seventeenth-century models for the European collector market.
