Eugenio Scorzelli (Buenos Aires 1890–Naples 1958)TECHNIQUE: Oil on panelDIMENSIONS: 40 x 49.5cm SIGNATURE: “Eug. Scorzelli’ bottom leftDATE: Late 1930s, circa 1938–1939CONDITION: Excellent. Period gilded frame.This painting represents a high point in Eugenio Scorzelli’s work in England. The scene is set on Holy Island,the ancient Lindisfarne in Northumberland, captured in the surreal silence of low tide.The colour palette is minimalist yet exquisite: leaden greys, muted greens, earthy browns, off-whites.It is the light of the North Sea—glancing and cold—which the artist captured from life during hisstay in Great Britain in the late 1930s. The ‘fluid brushwork’ and ‘effects of evanescence’mentioned by Prof. Ricciardi are here at their finest: the landscape seems to vibrate and dissolve, asif shrouded in sea mist. It is a work of great emotional power, combining topographicalaccuracy with a profound atmospheric sensitivity, closely aligned with the legacy of Whistler and the St Ives school.
