Eugenio Scorzelli (Buenos Aires 1890–Naples 1958) "Landscape with Lindisfarne Castle and Boats Stranded at Low Tide" MEDIUM: Oil on panel DIMENSIONS: 40 x 49.5 cm SIGNATURE: “Eug. Scorzelli” lower left DATE: Late 1930s, approximately 1938–1939 CONDITION: Excellent. Period gilded frame. This painting represents a pinnacle of Eugenio Scorzelli’s work in England. The scene opens onto Holy Island, the ancient Lindisfarne in Northumberland, captured in the surreal silence of low tide. The color palette is minimalist and of the highest quality: leaden grays, muted greens, earthy browns, and off-whites. It is the light of the North Sea—glancing and cold—that the artist captured from life during his stay 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, to dissolve, as if enveloped by sea fog. It is a work of great emotional power, combining topographical accuracy with a profound atmospheric sensitivity, closely aligned with the teachings of Whistler and the St. Ives school.
