Italiaanse school - Zonsondergang in de baai

‘Neergaande zon in de baai’ - ca. 1700 - Italian master.

. The work captures the precise moment of the sun setting in a bay where some spectators/fishermen are watching or starting to fish.

. The unknown master uses a blurring technique where the buildings in the background seem to appear from the mist. We also see some boats appearing.

. The colours are still sharp and clear and the shades in the water are meticulously captured on the canvas. The setting sun and its brilliance are truly tangible.

. The painting is very charming and can be incorporated into any interior.

. The work was recanvassed once. The frame is from the 18th century and has signs due to old age.

. The photos are part of the description. Carefully packaged shipment.
