View of lighthouse with stormy sea, Eugenio Amus

Painting depicting a naval signal lantern, oil on parchment by the Brescian painter Eugenio Amus. Marine view with imposing lighthouse tower placed on a rocky outcrop, invested by the waves of a rough sea. In the foreground, the dark mass of rocks accentuates the contrast with the white foam of the waves, rendered with energetic brushstrokes and color overlays. In the background, the cloudy sky presents bright openings that modulate the dramatic atmosphere of the scene. The composition, enclosed in a shaped frame with a circular opening, demonstrates a naturalistic focus combined with a painterly taste for the dynamism of the sea and chiaroscuro contrasts. The use of oil on vellum gives the surface a fine and compact texture, enhancing the rendering of details and chromatic brilliance. The wooden frame, of elaborate design and coeval or close to the period of execution, completes the ensemble with a decorative setting reminiscent of the late 19th-century tradition. Painting dimensions: 32.5cm diameter Dimensions with frame: 45.5 x 46.5cm
