Neapolitan School, circa 1800
Malta, a view of the Fort St. Angelo and the Grand Harbor at Valletta

oil on canvas
canvas: 19⅜ by 28 in.; 49.2 by 71.1 cm.
framed: 26 by 35 in.; 66 by 88.9 cm.

Condition Report:
The canvas is lined and has a modern stretcher. The lined canvas is further supported by a sheet of thin plastic. The canvas is stable. The overall image reads strongly and clearly beneath the varnish. A very faint pattern of craquelure is visible, though this is not too distracting. Inspection under UV reveals a clear varnish. There are some very fine and scattered strokes of retouching here and there that have been sensitively and well-applied, most to address the aforementioned craquelure. There are also fine strokes in the darker tones of the lower foreground, possibly to address some thinness. There are some additional very small and isolated spots of retouching here and there in the sky. The painting is ready to hang. Offered in a decoratively carved gilt frame with some minor losses.
