"Small Seascape, Oil On Canvas – 19th Century"
Small Seascape, oil on canvas – 19th century. Dimensions: 35 × 28.5 cm. A charming seascape depicting a two-masted ship sailing on a calm sea, beneath a night sky enlivened by moonlight piercing the thick cloud cover. On deck, several men dressed in red enliven the scene, while a small boat detaches itself near the ship, adding a second point of life on the water. The light, subtly placed on the water, the sails, and the figures, creates a dramatic and poetic atmosphere typical of 19th-century Romantic seascapes. The composition is tight and intimate, with a beautiful interplay of contrasts between the dark masses of the sky and the silvery reflections of the sea.
