Grotta Azzurra, Capri, oil on canvas, signed G. E. Libert. A woman holding an umbrella sits in a small rowing boat inside a vast sea cave, while the boatman seems to guide the woman who is likely a tourist The figures are set against the luminous blue water, which the Grotta Azurra or Blue Grotto is famous for. Warm rugged rock formations of the cave rises around them. Libert contrasts the dark foreground and cavernous ceiling with the bright opening beyond, creating a strong sense of depth and atmosphere. George Emil Libert (1820–1908) was a Danish painter and draughtsman, born in Copenhagen. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and developed an interest in landscape painting. He travelled extensively in Europe, including Italy, and became known for landscapes and dramatic natural settings. His work is represented in the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. Libert exhibited regularly at Charlottenborg in Copenhagen, beginning in 1837 and continuing over many decades. He also took part in exhibitions at the Kunstforeningen in Copenhagen. His work was shown at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm in 1856, 1870, 1873 and 1875, and at the Nordic Art Exhibitions in Copenhagen in 1872 and 1883. He participated in the Copenhagen Town Hall exhibition in 1901. The subject is the Grotta Azzurra, or Blue Grotto, on the island of Capri. Its intense blue light is created by sunlight entering through a submerged opening and reflecting off the sandy seabed. Known in antiquity and associated with a Roman imperial villa, the grotto became widely celebrated after its rediscovery to a broader public in 1826, and soon attracted artists and travellers. The painting is presently unframed. We can have it framed if wished for. 44 × 28.5 cm.
