Large painting with the wreck of a sailing ship, oil on canvas from the 18th century

This painting is a fascinating artwork, imbued with the drama and emotional depth typical of the late 18th century. Made in a historical period characterized by a fascination for exploration and the sea. The use of dark colors and a nocturnal palette is highly effective, aimed at conveying intensity and playing with light and shadow, creating a dynamic sense of movement and danger. The scene focuses on the shipwreck of a large galleon which is terribly pushed against a cliff by the waves. The painting has been relined and some patches are visible on the back of the canvas. The work does not have a signature or certificate of attribution.
