We offer a striking and vibrant work by the renowned Italian painter Licinio Campagnari. Although the artist is best known for his Alpine landscapes of the Aosta Valley, this seascape painting reveals his versatility and ability to capture the power of nature.

The painting depicts an intense seascape at sunset or sunrise.

The artist excels at capturing the dynamism of the foaming waves, crashing forcefully in the foreground, characterized by touches of white and deep blue-green.

Light and Color: The sky, dominated by warm hues of orange, pink, and pale gold, suggests a moment of luminous transition, reflecting on the water in a vibrant play of light and shadow.
The twilight illuminates the crests of the waves and the wet sand on the shore.

Composition: In the foreground, the action focuses on the rocky and sandy beach, with large boulders serving as static contrasts to the incessant movement of the sea. The use of a textured and lively brushstroke, typical of Campagnari's style, gives the work depth and texture.

Signature and Condition:

The work is signed lower left in the unmistakable handwriting of "L. Campagnari" or "Licinio Campagnari" (as shown in the detail image).

The painting is presented in a contemporary (period) frame, made of dark wood and richly carved in gold, which enhances its importance and chromatic contrast.

The back of the painting shows the original stretcher and signs of wear, confirming the authenticity and age of the work.

The overall condition is good, with minor signs of aging consistent with its age. See less
