Portofino from the Sea, Genoa, October 1841
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Elizabeth Murray that transports viewers to the picturesque fishing village of Portofino in Liguria, Italy. With her skilled use of gouache and watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Murray captures the essence of this coastal gem with remarkable detail. In this artwork, we are presented with a breathtaking view from the sea towards land. The vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes bring to life the charming houses nestled along the coastline. The sailboats gracefully glide through calm waters, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. Murray's composition skillfully balances elements of nature and human presence. The distant headland creates depth while fluffy clouds dotting the sky add drama to an otherwise serene setting. Each stroke showcases her mastery in capturing light and atmosphere. As we observe this piece, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time to October 1841 when Murray herself stood at this very spot. Through her artistry, she invites us to appreciate not only the beauty of Portofino but also its rich cultural heritage. "Portofino from the Sea" serves as a testament to Murray's talent as an English artist who was able to capture both foreign landscapes and local scenes with equal finesse. This print stands as a valuable addition within Britain's artistic legacy and continues to captivate audiences at Art Institute Chicago where it resides today.
