Splendid coastal landscape particularly lively, full of views and scenes in a port context.
The depth that the talented author manages to give to this magnificent composition is truly remarkable.
The work is characterized by the contrast between the shadowy areas in the foreground, teeming with characters and boats, and the bright background of the coast with the clear sky.
The ruins of a turreted fortress stand out as protagonists in the glow of a fantastic atmosphere.
There are clear references to the famous seascapes of Salvator Rosa, revisited in an eighteenth-nineteenth century style, which the Author wants to pay homage to
