"Coastal Scene With Figures – Seafood Harvest"
Oil on canvas depicting a lively marine scene, with folk figures gathering shellfish along a reef, against a backdrop of a rough sea animated by sailing boats.The painting is striking for its dynamic composition, the natural gestures, and the luminous rendering of the marine atmosphere, with a skillful balance between landscape and figures. The palette is warm and harmonious, typical of 19th-century Mediterranean genre painting.
The work is attributed to Giuliano Bartolomé (1825–1909), a painter known for scenes of everyday life, seascapes, and folk subjects. The canvas was originally signed; the signature is no longer visible following a conservative restoration (re-lining).
