Antonio Travi Paintings
1608-1665
Antonio Travi (Sestri Ponente, 1608 - Genoa, 10 February 1665) was an Italian painter.
He was born in Sestri Ponente near Genoa in 1608, from a poor family and unable to support him in his studies. Despite his indigence, he managed to carry out an apprenticeship with the painter Bernardo Strozzi. He painted the Mystical Marriage of Santa Caterina for the church of Santa Caterina in Sestri Ponente, which remained his only altarpiece, however of a modest level.
The turning point that gave it a certain grandeur was the choice of the landscape genre. Before 1630 Gottfried Wals of Cologne had been hosted by Strozzi and, from the example he had received from this contact, Travi discovered his true vocation, becoming a landscape painter. His life does not have exceptional events, and it takes place in seclusion. In 1658 Travi married Antonietta Briani in a second marriage, celebrated in the parish church of Sestri Ponente. In 1665 the painter died.
He had therefore learned the genre that makes him important from a Flemish. The Italianized Nordic painters came to Italy to go to Rome or Naples, and were often passing through Genoa, or always on the road they were welcomed by Cosimo II de 'Medici in Florence. They carried on their type of landscape made up of elements taken from life, which is no longer the true lenticular of the ancient Flemings of a century or two before, with a display of precious details, but a truly random and photogrammatic spread following Caravaggism.to

Antique English 19th century marine scene
By William Anderson
Located in Woodbury, CT
Outstanding English late 18th / early 19th century marine scene by one of Britain's best known and sought after painters.
William (or Wiliam) Anderson (1757 – 27 May 1837) was a Scottish artist specializing in maritime and patriotic themes. He was well-regarded for his detailed and accurate portraits of ships under sail, exhibiting his works annually in London between 1787 and 1811 and then occasionally until 1834. Anderson influenced other artists, notably John Ward and others of the Hull school.
Anderson's early life is obscure, but he is known to have trained as a shipwright before moving to London to become a maritime painter when he was about 30. His training served him well as a painter, providing "a practical nautical knowledge" of his subjects. He earned a reputation for "accuracy and refinement of detail" and was admired for his bright, clear colours. He worked in both oils and watercolours.
He based his style on that of well-known Dutch maritime...
