CARLEVARIS, Luca
(b. 1663, Udine, d. 1730, Venezia)

A Mediterranean Port Scene

1713
Oil on canvas, 85 x 131 cm
Private collection

This painting is an example of the type of coastal port scenes that Carlevaris began to paint from around 1710 onwards, perhaps as a result of his recent journey to Rome. They comprise a distinctive group within his oeuvre and must have found a ready market among his patrons.

The painting signed on a bale on a mule lower right: L+C and dated: MDCC/XIII.
