Venetian Port Scene With Sailing Ships And Galleys – Venetian School, Early 18th Century

Harbor view with sailing ships and galleysVenetian School, early 18th centuryOil on canvas – 120 × 86 cm (without frame)With original carved and gilded frame – 134 × 98 cm
Charming maritime scene animated by large sailing ships and row galleys, probably Venetian, anchored in a port. Though smoke and fire appear in the distance, the painting does not depict an actual naval battle, but rather a moment of rest or maintenance. The calm demeanor of the figures on shore reinforces the peaceful, everyday character of this harbor setting.
The attention to ship structure, spatial depth, and coastal architectural details suggests a Venetian context from the early 18th century, possibly influenced by Luca Carlevarijs or his circle.
Original wooden frame, finely carved and gilded with gold leaf. The gilding is original, while the lacquer was applied at a later date.
Condition report: good. Relined canvas, with visible retouching in areas corresponding to past losses. Overall, the painting is stable and highly legible.
A work of great charm and decorative value, ideal for collectors or refined classical interiors.
