Description
Coastal view at sunset with fishermen and boats
Atelier of Charles François Grenier De Lacroix, called de Marseille (Marseille 1700 - Berlin 1782)
Oil on canvas
50 x 62 cm. - in frame 64 x 80 cm.
The proposed work, depicting a splendid coastal view rendered brilliant by the warm light of sunset, presents the distinctive features typical of the compositions of Charles François Grenier De Lacroix, one of the most important landscape painters in 18th century European painting and a specialist in depicting seascapes, and can therefore be attributed to one of the many pupils and collaborators active in his atelier.
Versions very similar to our composition can be found in the most important international museums and private collections, belonging to a large series of paintings that the master produced, together with his collaborators, especially during his stay in Italy.
After his apprenticeship with Vernet in France, De Lacroix collaborated with the master for several years in Rome, where he is documented until 1760 and was certainly later in Naples until 1776.
His marinas were very fashionable at the time, a favourite genre of the nobility from Great Britain and Northern Europe who came to Italy on the Grand Tour and were sold as souvenirs of the trip.
Often, therefore, they were not commissioned as simple decorative elements, but were meant to represent a gallery of images of the most significant places or views seen during their long stays.
The glimpse immortalised, although a figment of the author's imagination, is inspired by the picturesque Mediterranean coastline with a harbour, animated by small, lively figures of fishermen with their moored boats. The clear sunlight, the rosy clouds and the calm surface of the sea contribute to the harmonious and idyllic atmosphere of the work.
The painting is in good condition with a beautiful carved and gilded wooden frame.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The painting is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card.
We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
