Terrace on the Amalfi moonlight

ID: #5482 | Romantism | Architecture

The painting shows a woman standing on a terrace overlooking the sea during sunset. The terrace is protected by a large draped curtain, which creates a shaded area from the harsh light. The calm sea surface and the contours of the coastal rocks stretch out in the background. On the terrace there are pots with plants and a metal round table. An open window to the interior can be seen to the right and objects scattered on the ground to the left. The scene exudes peace and tranquility.

Thomas Fearnley (1802-1842) was a Norwegian painter of the Romantic period and a pupil of Johan Christian Dahl. He was a very educated son of a merchant - he graduated from the Norwegian National Academy of Craft, Art Academy in Copenhagen and the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. He was married to Cecilia Andersen, daughter of the greatest banker of the time. After studying, he received a commission from Crown Prince Oscar and then other members of the royal family. Fearley travelled a lot. He visited Venice, Rome, Sicily, Switzerland, Paris and London. On these trips, he painted beautiful landscapes with wildly romantic themes ( Terrace with an Oak Tree in Sorrento), waterfalls and untamed wilderness (< a href = Fearnley-Thomas-the-grindelwaldgletscher-Ido-5978> Grinderwaldgletscher). Fearley died at 39 due to typhus. Part of his lifelong work is stored in the National Gallery in Oslo.
