This fascinating painting, the work of the Ligurian painter Giuseppe Caselli (1893-1976), captures the power and beauty of the sea.
The artist, known for his lively and bright marine, paints a dramatic and serene coast scene at the same time.
The painting depicts a marine landscape where sparkling waves are strongly broken against a rocky cliff on the left.
The color palette is expertly balanced, with tones of water green and turquoise that merge into the deep blue of the sea.
The white foam of the waves creates a strong dynamic contrast, highlighting the incessant movement of the water.
The sky, painted with shades of pastel pink and tenuous orange, suggests a sunrise or sunset, giving the scene an atmosphere of calm and suggestion.
Caselli's brush stroke is visibly material, in particular in the areas of the waves and rocks, where the color is applied with a thickness to accentuate the relief and the texture.
This technique makes the representation of the sea not only visually vivid, but almost tactile.
The painting is signed by the artist at the bottom right and is datable to the 1930s.
The dimensions are: 108 x 88 including the frame, 100 x 80 the canvas only.
