Description: | Signed: yes Description: Four traditional Maltese 'dghaisa' boats are rowed by fishermen in Valletta Harbour, while a yacht speeds past behind them on gentle waves, its sails billowing in the wind. This picture is typical of the small, horizontal-format views of Malta that Girolamo Gianna painted in the later nineteenth century. His paintings were popular as mementos, especially for travellers and British families stationed on Malta, and as such he maintained a busy studio, employing a large number of assistants. | Subjects: | figure; townscape; marine; place (Valletta) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gianni, Girolamo (Italian artist, 1837-1895) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8580... | Go to resource |
