About the Item
Julius Porcellis (Rotterdam 1610 – 1645 Leiden) attributable
Seascape with ships
Oil on wood panel (oak) 52 x 84 cm In gilded wood frame 77 x 108 cm
The painting on display depicts an evocative seascape in stormy weather: the rough sea crashes against a rocky cliff while several boats, including a small fishing boat near the shore and a merchant ship offshore, try to continue on their course despite the weather conditions.
A typical subject of Baroque painting, the fury of the sea was a very popular theme, especially in 17th-century Dutch art, capable of representing the power of nature in a dynamic, exciting and dramatic way.
The resistance of the ships against the waves, where we can imagine the crew struggling to maintain control, was intended as a metaphor for life, indicating a close but vulnerable interrelationship with the forces of nature, often in contrast with the fragility of man.
The work's painting style and composition clearly reference the hand of Julius Porcellis (Rotterdam 1610 – Leiden 1645), a painter of the Dutch Golden Age specialising in seascapes and son of Jan Porcellis (1584–1632), from whom he was trained and under whose influence he remained throughout his life.
Even during the 17th and 18th centuries, art connoisseurs found it difficult to distinguish between the work of the father and that of the son. As can be seen in many of his seascapes, Porcellis depicted the stormy sea breaking against a high rock formation.
The three-masted ship in the distance, known as a pinnacle, with its sails lowered to protect it from the stormy winds, is also one of his signature features.
Our view is typical of the master, with his classic compositional style that made him highly regarded at home and abroad, promoting a new style and subject in marine painting by focusing on cloudy skies and rough waters.
Porcellis' contribution to Dutch art also lies in his emphasis on the effects of light: the composition is enveloped in a strong luminosity, with a cloud-filled sky from which flashes of light spread out, reverberating on the water and illuminating the foaming waves, highlighting the three-dimensionality of the painting.

Landscape See Paint Oil on canvas Flemish Old master 18th Century Italian Art
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Flemish painter active in Italy in the eighteenth century
Coastal landscape of the Mediterranean with architectures and figures
Oil painting on canvas (69 x 88 cm., in frame 80 x 100 cm.)
The suggestive view proposed depicts a coastal view with a bay and the ruins of an ancient building, probably a monastery or a church, and in the background another building with a garden surrounded by high walls close to the shore.
The type of landscape, typical of the southern Italian environment, and the intimate atmosphere that welcomes the scene, attributes the authorship of the work to a landscape painter active in the eighteenth century, presumably in Italy in this period, with immediate references to the Dutch school , and in particular to the production of Jacob de Heusch and above all of Gaspar van Wittel, considered the progenitor of Italian landscape painting.
In fact, in the rendering of the architectural details, in the purity with which the buildings have been reconstructed, as well as in the atmosphere that encompasses the entire landscape, a marked correspondence to the so-called "Vanvitellian realism" can be seen: in fact, a comparison with a certain series of views which the Dutchman...

Located in Hillsborough, NC
Dutch School, 17th century oil painting on board, this work features a golden ship on blue seas with white crests against a stormy clouded sky. In the distance more ships can be seen, and a spot of blue sky gives the stormy clouds relief. Light shines through the white clouds casting shadows of color on the gray storm and choppy sea waters. Dramatic and masterful.
Presented in overall very good condition in what may be the original mahogany wood frame.
Excellent for an office, library, den or study, but can also be effective in a living room, dining room or bedroom.
The frame has a rich wood tone. Easy to ship and ready to hang.
