Galleon

19th-century French School oil on wood panel. The surface is smooth to the touch.

A scene inspired by the emergence in France of 17th-century marine paintings, a time when the seas were at the center of all political and commercial conflicts. The light is supported by the clear sky and the reflections on the water. The details of the ships and characters are worked with precision and realism.
