About the Item

Work on canvas Plaster and gilded wood frame 48 x 67.5 x 3.5 cm The work on display is a captivating painting depicting a scene of daily life on the shores of an Italian sea, in Capri. The backdrop is the imposing mountains. The artist has captured with striking precision the interaction of four children, whose innocence and joy shine through their gestures and expressions. The children, dressed in modest, worn clothing, play pebbles on the beach sand, absorbed in their playful activities. The treatment of the clothes, with details of textures and folds, shows an exceptional mastery of pictorial technique. The children's expressions are realistic and poignant, making the scene extremely vivid and emotional. On the left, a fishing boat is pulled ashore, its nets piled carelessly on its side, testifying to local economic activity and further anchoring the scene in an authentic, everyday context. The calm, sparkling sea in the soft light contrasts beautifully with the dark, cloudy mountains in the background, creating a remarkable visual depth. The village in the distance is depicted with a delicacy that allows the buildings to be discerned without detailing every element, creating a harmonious balance between the painstaking realism of the children in the foreground and an almost impressionistic softness in the background. The small sails of the boats in the distance add a light, airy dynamic to the whole. This work is a powerful celebration of the simplicity and purity of childhood, while offering a window onto the life and environment of a small coastal village. The combination of precise detail and broad brushstrokes to render the natural elements shows the artist's perfect mastery, capturing not just a scene but an entire atmosphere. Every element of this painting is carefully thought out to transport the viewer into that precise moment, creating an immersive and moving visual experience.
