I like to complete this series about Naples and surroundings, and the Posillipo School of landscape painting, with a post dedicated to Capri, likely the best known of the islands which crown the Neapolitan Gulf. Nevertheless, not so much the touristy Capri of today, but rather as it was around the mid-nineteenth century. Below, in the top images, its rural and marine sides, respectively depicted by Neapolitan artists belonging to the School of Posillipo. On the left: Giacinto Gigante, “View of Capri” (watercolour and tempera: Capodimonte Museum, Naples). On the right: Consalvo Carelli, “Marina of Capri” (oil painting: San Martino Museum, Naples). Lower, two works more by C. Carelli, both of them in private collections and undated, executed in the second half of the century anyway: on the left, “Capri” (oil on cardboard); on the right, “Capri, Tiberius Bridge” (oil on canvas, partial view). Although an elite tourism was already present, the Romantic Capri of G. Gigante and C. Carelli was still anchored to its traditional rhythms. It's also true that they, and other painters of various nationalities, who depicted the island, indirectly contributed to its tourist development, until this assumed its current mass dimension. If the natural beauty of the places didn't change a lot, and was indeed enriched by archaeological or cultural resources, generally the same can't be said of the lifestyle of the local population. Slowly, an original agricultural and fishing or artisanal economy converted to hotel industry, or a trade of imported luxury goods. In a few words, Capri became a symbol for modern international tourism, but also an early lesson on its merits and defects, worthy of being studied as such too. Pictorial or picturesque, art history may help us remember its essence, why it grew a pole of attraction before any other Mediterranean island; and perhaps lead us to reflect on what to do, so that it and similar privileged sites aren't contaminated or denaturalized.

This makes the cave not just another cave – sculpted out of a rock by water waves as it was some kind of bad-tasted contemporary art sculpture – the cave is man-made. This naturally raises a question why would somebody carve a cave not too far but not too close to the settlement nearby – Denia – to which Cova Tallada’s destiny was bounded from the very beginning and still holds to this day. Despite Cova Tallada origins, its beauty is sought by lots of tourists and adventurers. So many that during the high season access to the cave had to be limited due to safety reasons. You see, from time to time some people tend to fall into Cova Tallada as they get ‘creative’ trying to take a selfie on the hole above the cave. The Official Rules of Cova Tallada Hike Stay in the cave no longer than 2 hours Bring water in abundance Proper footwear Do not bring bulky and cumbersome objects Do not run or shout It is forbidden to: Spending the night at the cave Fishing and extracting any kind of species from the sea Feeding the aquatic fauna Pulling out plants Littering More information: https://lnkd.in/dKVDHgWW #denia #costablanca #spain #spanje #spanien #caves

New painting Paisatge27 Description: Figurative landscape abstraction. Interpretation of an olive field. It represents the essence and atmosphere of an olive grove without adhering to a literal representation. The combination of primary and saturated colors evoke its twisted branches and leaves that swayed by the winds of sandy rocks express the light vividness of the Mediterranean landscape.

Vandals are bad, but the inevitable march of time and climate change are the two biggest threats to this invaluable art. As the planet heats up and the oceans rise, we’re losing access to some of these artistic wonders. It may soon be hard to look at them at all, let alone protect them from idiots who want to capture them forever on social media. In southern France, there’s a cave filled with paintings of prehistoric marine life, penguins, seals, fish, carts, and bears. Reaching it requires diving into the Mediterranean and navigating an underwater cave. Sea levels have risen a lot in the past decade and navigating to the cave is becoming increasingly difficult. Worse, the changing tides are starting to wipe away some of the artwork. #artefacts #art #history #homedecor #museum #archaeology #ancient #artifacts #interiordesign #archeology #furniture #ancienthistory #ancientart #handmade #artefact #design #interior #architecture #antique #artifact #antiques #decor #archaeologist #india #museums #heritage #artwork #roman #photography #interiors
