Painting of Fisherman in the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius, School of Posillipo (Late Xix), Follower of Consalvo Carelli

19th century
Description

School of Posillipo (Late XIX), follower of Consalvo Carelli

Title: Fisherman in the Bay of Naples with a Smoking Vesuvius

Medium: Oil on canvas

Provenance: From a private London collection

Overall measurement with the frame is 69cm x 43cm x 3cm and painting measured at 63cm x 38cm

Consalvo Carelli (29 March 1818 in Naples – 2 December 1900 in Naples, Italy) was an Italian landscape painter and painter of the School of Posillipo. He is also known as Gonsalvo Carelli.

Consalvo's father, Raffaelle Carelli, was an early member of the School of Posillipo and who had migrated to Naples from Apulia. In 1837, he was given a scholarship to travel to Rome, where he attached himself to the French Academy in Rome.

Consalvo returned to Naples in 1840, but lived for three years in Paris from 1841-1843, where he gained recognition as a landscape painter. He helped illustrate a travel journal of Alexandre Dumas. He had patronage from French, English, and Russian aristocracy. He was the brother of the painter Gabriele Carelli. He was the father of the painter Giuseppe Carelli (1858 - 1921), and uncle of Conrad Hector Raffaele Carelli (1866-1956), son of Gabriele. One of his pupils was Egidio De Maulo.

The foreground of the present work depicts a group of fishermen bringing in their nets. To the left of the composition is Castel Dell'ovo, the oldest castle in Naples, while the background is dominated by a smoking Mount Vesuvius. The Bay of Naples provided rich fishing grounds, teeming with diverse marine life. The proximity to landmarks like Vesuvius and the Castel Dell'ovo not only shaped the landscape but also the fishermen’s identity. The dramatic background of this painting contrasts with the serene scene of the fishermen in the foreground.

The record price for this artist at auction is 63,963 USD for veduta di taormina, sold at Sotheby's Milan in 2006.

FAQs

The School of Posillipo refers to a group of landscape painters based in Naples during the 19th century who focused on informal, atmospheric plein-air views of the Neapolitan coastline and surrounding countryside.

These artworks were predominantly executed using oil paints on natural linen or cotton canvas, presented within carved or moulded wooden frames finished with leaf gilding.

Authentic works from this period typically feature characteristic brushwork capturing natural coastal light, age-appropriate craquelure across oil layers, and period-correct canvas stretchers or panel stamps.

A classical framed seascape acts as a focal point when hung above a fireplace mantelpiece or sideboard, offering a rich historical contrast against contemporary neutral walls.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources, and dust the surface gently using a soft dry brush without applying water or chemical solvents.
