Zacharias Tzanarakis (Greek, 20th Century), Mediterranean Harbour Scene, Oil on Board - A vibrant modernist oil painting on board by the Greek artist Zacharias Tzanarakis. The composition depicts a bright Mediterranean harbour scene, likely in the Cyclades, featuring white-washed dwellings with terracotta tiled roofs set against a rugged hillside. A large blue-hulled fishing boat is moored in the foreground, its mast and rigging rendered with fine lines, with its reflection captured in the turquoise water. The artist employs a confident impasto technique, using thick applications of paint to create texture, particularly in the highlights and the water surface. The work is signed Z. Tzanarakis in the lower-left corner. It is housed in a contemporary dark-stained wooden frame with a gilded inner slip. A portion of another print is visible in the background above the frame.
