Notes:
|
Customary of Domenico Gavarrone was to sign their own works specifying also place and date of execution, but also in lack of such a confirmation it seems to refer to its hand this painting of the brig "Orbita" in a hurricane. Accredited to the paint-brush of the Gavarrone it seems, in fact, the chromatic range, the descriptive definition of the hull, and, above all, the general formulation of the scene. |
