This magnificent picture is a oil on canvas, framed in baroque style and highly decorative. The picture belongs to a 20th century school and was skillfully and freely painted, depicting two ancient ships in a sea battle. One of the ships, the one in the foreground, is a majestic caravel painted in full detail. The other ship is far away and its sails are lowered. The picture draws our attention because of its elegance and delicate use of the colors, as well as for the free-flowing brushstrokes that the artist used when he or she painted it. The ships boast great bold color details, specially the caravel at the foreground that is the protagonist of the work. For example, we can see beautiful red brushstrokes decorating the inner face of the canyons hatches, and also two airy red flags crowning the masts. The rest of the ship is painted in ochre, brown, golden and beige tones in a subtle and efficient combination. We can also remark the striking sky that reminds us of the paintings by masters such as William Turner, and the reflection of the sunlight on the wavy sea. At the bottom right corner we can see the artists signature, authentic and in good condition. As stated before, the picture comes with its original frame, a fine hand-carved wooden piece decorated with gold leaf and black paint. Baroque in style, this frame enhances insuperably the pictures beauty, and is a state-of-art piece itself. The moldings are in good condition, with no broken or missing parts, and the antique patina that covers the golden reliefs provides them with an elegant and hard-to-beat classy look. This amazing Antique picture is undoubtedly bound to decorate a stylish living room, study or hall, where it will display all its majesty. Measurements: Picture: Width: 15.7in/40 cm.
