Messina – Posillipo School – Oil on canvas

The painting by E. Ferrante is inspired by the great masters of the Posillipo School, including Antonio Pitloo and Giacinto Gigante, who used the Navy as a subject to portray an idyllic landscape. In the painting we admire a marine view of Messina with a large tower placed in the south-east corner of the fortress, entirely surrounded by the sea, a classical and Mediterranean sunshine that breathes the history and nature of the Italian landscape.
