Oil painting on canvas. Signed F. Pratella on the lower left. In the Gulf of Naples, identifiable by the Vesuvius in the background, on a sandy stretch of coast a group of fishermen with their women pull the boats ashore. Light and colors fill the atmosphere of the scene. The Neapolitan artist Fausto Pratella, son of Attilio, initially followed his father's leave, painting marine full of light and movement, like the one proposed here, but soon wanted to depart from Attilio's wake, choosing different subjects and techniques, which led him to paint the cold peripheral parks of Milan, bringing in his canvases the evocative visions of those greens, those grays, those browns saturated with that humid and foggy vapidity typically Lombard. The painting is presented in a styled frame.
