Dimensions with frame: 53 x 39,5 x 4 cm Signed "E. Briante" in the lower right corner. This expressive oil painting depicts a narrow alley in Capri, where traditional stone buildings cluster around a small open space near the waterfront. A boat rests on the ground while figures carry out everyday tasks, evoking the quiet rhythm of daily life on the island. Sunlit façades contrast with shaded passages, and a mountainous backdrop rises beneath a luminous sky, anchoring the scene in its Mediterranean setting. Painted with confident, textured brushwork, the artist employs warm ochres, soft blues, and earthy tones to convey the brilliance of southern light and the weathered surfaces of historic architecture. Subtle reflections in shallow water and scattered stones add depth and guide the viewer’s eye through the composition. Forms are rendered with a balance of structure and painterly freedom, capturing architectural character without rigid detail. The harmonious palette and atmospheric handling recall late 19th- to early 20th-century European landscape...

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.

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.

Dimensions with frame: 34,5 x 48 x 4,5 cm. Signed "E. Briante" in the lower left corner. This atmospheric harbor scene captures a quiet waterfront at dusk, where moored boats rest on softly rippling water beneath a dramatic sky. Warm bands of orange light along the distant shoreline contrast with cool gray clouds, suggesting the final glow of sunset fading across the horizon. Painted in oil with expressive, confident brushwork, the artist emphasizes the movement of water through broken reflections and layered impasto. The boats, rendered with bold dark forms and flashes of color, anchor the composition while guiding the eye into the distance toward the clustered buildings and masts beyond. The restrained palette of muted grays, ochres, and rust tones evokes the mood of a working harbor at day’s end, balancing industrial character with poetic tranquility. Subtle highlights on the water surface create a luminous effect, giving the scene depth and atmosphere. The painting reflects modern European coastal traditions, combining impressionistic spontaneity with strong compositional structure.
