F. FONTANA (Late Posillipo School, late 19th century – early 20th century) - Borgo costiero di Pescatori con barche - Oil on panel. Dimensions: approx. 33 x 45 cm. A luminous coastal view belonging to the pictorial tradition of the late Posillipo School, depicting a peaceful fishing port with boats alongside a small Mediterranean seaside village. The work stands out for its delicate atmospheric treatment and the refined capture of light on the water, achieved through a quick and vibrant brushstroke characteristic of Neapolitan landscape painting between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The composition conveys a serene sense of everyday calm, 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, focused on the lyrical representation of the Mediterranean coasts and ports. Signed “F. Fontana” at the bottom. Original gilt frame included. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required.
