Marina Di Sorrento By Giacinto Gigante 

Valuable reproduction by the Istituto Poligrafico dello Stato, whose cartouche detail is shown. 

Giacinto Gigante (Naples, 1806 - Naples, 1876) was an Italian painter, considered one of the major exponents of the Posillipo School. This artistic movement, which developed in Naples in the 19th century, was characterised by landscape painting ‘en plein air’ (in the open air), with particular attention to the rendering of light and atmosphere. Gigante was a master in the use of watercolour and oil, and his works are appreciated for their delicacy and ability to capture the beauty of Campania's landscapes.

The Marina of Sorrento was a recurring subject in his production, given the beauty and charm of the place. His views of Sorrento are characterised by great topographical precision, combined with a romantic sensitivity to nature.
The Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (IPZS) is an Italian public body involved in various activities, including the printing of official documents, the production of coins and the reproduction of works of art. IPZS reproductions are generally of high quality, produced using advanced techniques to ensure fidelity to the original.
The canvas is set in a beautiful original frame by the workshop ‘Luigi De Paola e figli’ also shown on the back. Outside measurement including frame: 65x53cm approx.
