Notes:
|
The acronym V.F.G.A., often used, means: Voto Fatto Grazia Avuta (Vow Done, Grace Obtained). The painting is an effective nocturne attributable to the hand of a painter in the wider sense and not to a "specialized" in naval reproductions. For this reason the elements become more harmoniously assembled to create an emotional atmosphere that often in the other cases it risks to turn out frozen, due to the descriptive precision. |
