Pietro Giacomo Palmieri (Bologna, 1737–Torino, 1804), Marina

Pietro Giacomo Palmieri (Bologna, 1737–Torino, 1804). Marina. ante 1775. Pen and brown ink. 250 × 555 mm. Private collection.

Marine scene executed in pen and brown ink on prepared paper, a technique mastered by Palmieri in the 1770s.

The inscriptions and watermark suggest a provenance linked to the collection of Guillaume Du Tillot.

Palmieri’s drawings represent the highest level of his graphic production, where drawing achieves full autonomy as an artwork.
