Dimensions with frame: 28,3 x 37 x 4 cm Signed and titled "C. Carelli Napoli" in the lower left corner. A closely related companion painting by the same artist, depicting a similar view of the Bay of Naples under different atmospheric conditions and of identical dimensions, is also currently available, offering the opportunity to acquire a rare and decorative pair. This lively maritime scene depicts traditional fishing boats resting on the calm waters of the Bay of Naples, with the unmistakable silhouette of Mount Vesuvius rising in the distance. Executed with vibrant brushwork and a refined sense of atmosphere, the composition beautifully captures the daily life and maritime character of southern Italy. Overhead, a dramatic, cloud-laden sky gathers above the bay, its heavy formations creating a slightly ominous mood that contrasts with the stillness of the water and adds a striking sense of tension and atmosphere to the scene. In the foreground, several fishermen gather aboard wooden boats loaded with fishing nets and equipment. Their colorful garments add touches of red, green, and ochre that animate the composition, while the large sail of the central vessel creates a striking visual anchor. The quiet water reflects both the boats and the warm light of the sky, enhancing the painting’s sense of serenity. Beyond the fishing activity, Mount Vesuvius dominates the horizon, releasing a faint plume of smoke that adds drama and authenticity to this classic Neapolitan view. The contrast between the dark volcanic slopes and the luminous sea creates depth and visual balance throughout the scene. The painting reflects the rich tradition of 19th- and early 20th-century Neapolitan marine painting, celebrated for its picturesque depictions of coastal life and iconic views of the Bay of Naples. This atmospheric work would make an excellent addition to collections of Italian marine painting, Grand Tour subjects, or historic views of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

Adam Horn af Ekebyholm (1717–1778) Sweden Vue des environs de Caudebec en Normandie (View of the Environs of Caudebec in Normandy), 1770 signed and dated on the reverse Ad. Horn pinxit 1770 oil on canvas unframed 45 × 56 cm (17.7 × 22 in) framed 59 × 69 cm (23.2 × 27.2 in) in its original period gilt frame accompanied by an engraving after Jacob Philipp Hackert Provenance: Stockholms Auktionsverk, Stockholm, Fine Art & Antiques Autumn 2022, 7 December 2022, lot 630; A private collection Stockholm. Essay: Painted in 1770, this view of the environs of Caudebec presents the banks of the Seine as a setting for everyday activity within a carefully ordered landscape. A castle rises above the rocky cliffs at the left, while a weathered tree anchors the right foreground. Between them, boats lead the eye towards distant hills and a luminous horizon. Four figures gather beside baskets at the water’s edge, their red, blue and white clothing bringing concentrated accents of colour to the earth and vegetation. Above, broad clouds pass across an expansive blue sky, giving the scene much of its spaciousness and atmospheric movement. The composition follows Première vue des environs de Caudebec en Normandie, engraved by Yves-Marie Le Gouaz under the direction of Jacques Aliamet after Jacob Philipp Hackert. The Bibliothèque nationale de France catalogues the engraving with a publication date of 1769, suggesting that Horn’s painting followed its appearance within approximately a year. A closely corresponding painting by Hackert, signed and dated 1767 and sold at Lempertz in 2019, shows the arrangement in reverse. Horn follows the orientation of the engraving, with the tree at the right and the castle at the left. This reversal provides strong visual evidence for the print’s role as intermediary. The relatively taller proportions of his canvas and his choices of colour for the figures’ clothing give the painted version a distinct character. The accompanying impression preserves the dedication to Count Creutz, Sweden’s representative at the French court, together with his coat of arms. This detail gives the French landscape a specific Swedish connection. Hackert himself had visited Stockholm in 1764 and worked for the royal court before moving to France. These associations place Horn’s choice of model within a wider exchange of landscape imagery between France and Sweden. A count, military officer and councillor of state, Horn combined painting with a prominent role in Swedish public life. In May 1772, two years after completing this landscape, he placed the crown upon Gustav III’s head together with Archbishop Beronius, a ceremony subsequently represented in Carl Gustav Pilo’s monumental coronation painting...

Dimensions with frame: 45,5 x 55,5 x 8 cm Signed "E. Briante" in the lower right corner. This vibrant coastal painting depicts fishermen at work in a sunlit harbor with the iconic Faraglioni rock formations rising dramatically from the sea in the distance. Several boats cluster along a stone quay in the foreground, where figures prepare nets and equipment, capturing a lively moment of maritime life along the Italian coast. Executed in oil with confident, impressionistic brushwork, the artist conveys the brilliance of Mediterranean light through shimmering turquoise water and warm reflections dancing across the painted hulls. The composition balances intimate foreground activity with an expansive seascape, leading the eye toward the monumental limestone stacks that define the horizon. Additional vessels glide across the calm bay, reinforcing the sense of a working harbor while adding depth and movement. The distinctive silhouettes of the Faraglioni anchor the scene geographically and visually, providing a dramatic backdrop to the everyday labor of the fishermen. The painting reflects the enduring tradition of Italian marine...
