Description: | This painting, previously attributed to Claude Joseph Vernet, is now attributed to C. F. Lacroix de Marseille, a good imitator of Vernet. It is known that Lacroix produced in 1770 a picture entitled Naufrage (whereabouts unknown). Lacroix often made paintings from Vernet's drawings but they tend to lack the latter's strong drawing skills and sense of spatial depth. In composition this seascape particularly resembles Vernet's Naufrage, with the central figures in the foreground being very similar, but in reverse position. Overall, this painting is a good example of eighteenth-century dramatic marine panting with elements of the antique, a genre favoured by the Salon at the time. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lacroix, Charles François (French painter, died 1782) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Vernet, Claude-Joseph (French painter and draftsman, 1714-1789) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8813... | Go to resource |
