JOSÉ PANCETTI

 

The image is the painting Marinha de Saquarema (Saquarema Seascape) by the Brazilian modernist painter José Pancetti. 

• Painted in 1955, the work is a classic example of Pancetti's seascapes, a recurring theme influenced by his time as a sailor.
• The painting depicts two traditional fishing boats on a sandy beach with a hill and a building in the background.
• Pancetti was known for painting in the open air and for his unique use of color and texture.
