Unknown Author - Sailing Ship

Works depicting sailing ships can be considered part of the genre scene group, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. In particular, the depiction of simple sailing ships, or other vessels, outside the historical context of a naval battle, began in the 17th and 18th centuries, influenced by travel and exploration of new continents.

The entire style of this engraving is a continuous modulation between different registers. On the one hand, a meticulously detailed representation based on rigorous drawing. On the other, a more cursive approach aimed at exploiting the expressive qualities of color. The two approaches blend to create a work in which a love of detail is combined with a freshness of execution. Thus, while the depiction of the vessel is more objective, the sky and sea feature a more vibrant hatching, suited to capturing chromatic vibrations.

The performing artist shows that he has a high level of academic training that allows him to modulate different stylistic registers, but always within the context of a perfect naturalistic rendering.
