We present a pair of exquisite marine paintings, attributed to the renowned French artist Claude Joseph Vernet, famous for his picturesque and seascape views. The first painting captures the sublime stillness of a marina at sunrise or sunset, where the faded light of the sun seems to dance on the water. The second painting, on the other hand, offers a lively scene of a rough sea, with ships fighting against the waves and groups of characters scattered along a cliff, perhaps near the bays between Rome and Naples.

Both paintings are preserved on their original canvas and framed with period frames, finely carved and gilded, which testify to the artist’s typical care and attention to detail. The works measure remarkably in terms of visual and historical impact, reflecting Vernet’s ability to convey the majesty and changing essence of the sea.

These masterpieces represent a valuable addition for any art collector or admirer of marine representations, combining artistic mastery with the historical beauty of the Italian maritime landscape.
