G. Benedetti - Boats

The seascape depicted was a widely used subject in the history of art. From the 17th century onward, the subject was extensively studied, especially by Neapolitan artists who revived these depictions. For the artist, these scenes could have various layers of meaning. On the one hand, they allowed for the study of perspective and the distant horizon, but also for the analysis of light and the reflections it casts on the water. Precisely for this reason, once the subject became popular, many artists attempted to depict seascapes and ports. The view presented here aims to present a tranquil and serene scene, stripped of human figures, focused on the depiction of boats. Sky and land do not meet at the horizon but are characterized by delicate pastel shades of blue and gray.

The style can be described as naturalistic. It fits perfectly into twentieth-century realistic painting, transposing visual reality onto canvas along with its picturesque aspects. The brushstrokes are free, although it's noticeable how the drawing aspect isn't neglected, but rather emphasized by a well-conceived perspective and realistic volumes and forms.
