Description
Coastal view of Malta with sailing ships, ‘Scuola Europea’, late 19th century, oil on canvas, 87 x 150 cm The painting depicts a sweeping seascape of the island of Malta, brought to life by several sailing vessels and dominated by a vast, luminous sky. The coastline stretches along the horizon on the left, with a dense urban centre emerging in the distance, whilst in the foreground the sea, rippled by broad, regular waves, is criss-crossed by small boats and elegant sailing ships.The composition is structured according to a style typical of landscape and seascape painting from the second half of the nineteenth century, with a relatively low horizon that leaves ample space for the sky and atmospheric effects.
