About the Item
Coastal view at sunset with fishermen and boats
Atelier of Charles François Grenier De Lacroix, called de Marseille (Marseille 1700 - Berlin 1782)
Oil on canvas
50 x 62 cm. - in frame 64 x 80 cm.
The proposed work, depicting a splendid coastal view rendered brilliant by the warm light of sunset, presents the distinctive features typical of the compositions of Charles François Grenier De Lacroix, one of the most important landscape painters in 18th century European painting and a specialist in depicting seascapes, and can therefore be attributed to one of the many pupils and collaborators active in his atelier.
Versions very similar to our composition can be found in the most important international museums and private collections, belonging to a large series of paintings that the master produced, together with his collaborators, especially during his stay in Italy.
After his apprenticeship with Vernet in France, De Lacroix collaborated with the master for several years in Rome, where he is documented until 1760 and was certainly later in Naples until 1776.
His marinas were very fashionable at the time, a favourite genre of the nobility from Great Britain and Northern Europe who came to Italy on the Grand Tour and were sold as souvenirs of the trip.
Often, therefore, they were not commissioned as simple decorative elements, but were meant to represent a gallery of images of the most significant places or views seen during their long stays.
The glimpse immortalised, although a figment of the author's imagination, is inspired by the picturesque Mediterranean coastline with a harbour, animated by small, lively figures of fishermen with their moored boats. The clear sunlight, the rosy clouds and the calm surface of the sea contribute to the harmonious and idyllic atmosphere of the work.
The painting is in good condition with a beautiful carved and gilded wooden frame.

- Storm See Water Landscape Vernet 18th Century Paint Oil on canvas Old masterLocated in Riva del Garda, ITClaude-Joseph Vernet (Avignon, 1714 - Paris, 1789) workshop of The Storm on the Lighthouse 1750/60 Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 48 x 67 cm / framed 77 x 93 cm We share a highly pleasing work, a splendid marine executed by a talented painter from the workshop of the Frenchman Claude-Joseph Vernet, depicting a coastal view set in a Mediterranean port with the sea still stormy. The focal point of the composition is the large lighthouse at the entrance to the port, which, due to the power of the sea, was unable to bring to safety the ship that had crashed against the rocks, while the silhouette of a second sailing ship can be glimpsed in the distance. The canvas shows in full the pictorial, chromatic and narrative characteristics of the great master Vernet's coastal landscapes, characterised by the inimitable atmospheric conditions always hovering between darkness and light, storm and calm, instilling the observer with contrasting feelings, made even more intense by a palette of vibrant and highly contrasting colours. A similar composition, from which our author must necessarily have drawn, also attributed to the workshop of Claude Joseph Vernet is to be found in France, in Nantes, at the Musée d'Arts.  The effects of the light create a visual drama in the contrast between the darkness of the rain-laden storm clouds and the gash of clear sky that is opening up, pierced by the timid rays of light. The real magic of the painting is the painter's highly personal use of light and colour, with chiaroscuro effects that accentuate its three-dimensionality and movement. The compositional typology, as well as the quality of execution and attention to detail we are dealing with, are typical elements of the 'prototypes' conceived by the master, later taken up around the middle of the 18th century by his best pupils. Similar versions can be found in the most important international museums and private collections, belonging to a large series of paintings that the master created, together with his collaborators, during his stay in Italy. Vernet lived in Rome for twenty years (1734 - 1753), becoming particularly popular with English aristocrats who stopped there on their Grand Tour. International fame followed him from Rome to France, and to his English and French clients he added German princes...Category
