Description : Marina in tempesta
Oil on canvas. Of this suggestive and fascinating scene of a stormy sea, with ships at the mercy of the waves, there are different versions, inspired by the most important and well-known canvas, the one created by Francesco Guardi (1712-1793), of the same size and preserved at the Castello Sforzesco from Milan. This proposal is very close to a similar work from the Gnecchi collection in Milan, certainly inspired by the Guardesca production: it differs in small details (the color of the flag on the ship on the right, the inclinations of the masts of the ships on the left and in the center, the shape of the clouds), which suggest a good copy, made in the nineteenth century, in the wake of the interest and suggestion for the naturalistic theme and, in particular, for the power of Nature, which developed above all in Italy during the period of Romanticism. On the back of the frame there is a paper label with an inventory number and the initials C.G. (Gnecchi Collection?). On the first canvas, the painting has a very small tear on the right. It is presented in a late 19th century frame.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.Technical specification: Oil on canvas
