Gaetano Capone (maiori, 1845 – 1924) “night Scene With Sailing Boat”, Oil On Canvas
A sublime nighttime marine scene with a striking and evocative sense of light, in which the silhouette of a sailboat, manned by fishermen, plows across a calm and perfectly flat sea.
In the background, a stretch of coast emerges from the darkness and is delicately illuminated by the moonlight, partially hidden by the outlines of the roofs of a house.
The only point of bright light is represented by a small, burning fireplace, whose intense red glow stands out against the night and amplifies the sense of stillness, balance, and intimacy—distinctive elements of late-19th-century Neapolitan genre painting.
The painting, of remarkable execution, bears the signature of Maiori artist Gaetano Capone at the bottom, fully confirming its authorship.
