Description
F. FONTANA (Late Posillipo School, late 19th century – early 20th century) - Coastal Fishing Village with Boats Oil on panel. Dimensions: approx. 33 x 45 cm. A luminous coastal view in the pictorial tradition of the late Posillipo School, depicting a peaceful fishing harbour with boats alongside a small Mediterranean seaside village. The work is notable for its delicate atmospheric rendering and the refined depiction of light on the water, achieved through the swift and vibrant brushwork characteristic of Neapolitan landscape painting between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The composition conveys a serene sense of everyday tranquillity, with small boats scattered across the water’s surface and buildings bathed in the light of southern Italy. The whole fully reflects the landscape sensibility inherited from the Posillipo School, centred on the lyrical representation of the Mediterranean coasts and ports. Signed “F. Fontana” at the bottom. Original gilt frame included. Lot held in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export licence from the country of origin may be required.
