Vincenzo Migliaro

(Napoli, 1858 - 1938)

According to a written communication from Prof. Mariantonietta Picone from 2013, the work presented here "is certainly by the hand of Vincenzo Migliaro and certainly belongs to a type of production carried out by the painter not so much for commercial purposes, but as a personal study aimed at the effects of light and color modulations" . These characteristics compare the painting to a series of studies, almost all unpublished, aimed at the sea and the rocks of the island of Capri. The point of view from which Migliaro takes the view of Castel Sant'Elmo is most likely the so-called Calascione, more precisely the terrace of his house in Pizzofalcone, near Annunziatella, where the painter moved in the 1990s Nineteenth century.
