Year: 19th century Size: 126 x 195 x 6 cm Medium: Oil on canvas Description: Oil on canvas - O / L - The Discovery of the Antilles Splendid large-scale work of art that presents a fresh and original scene with naïve hues , great detail and an explosion of colors. The discovery of the Antilles describes a warm, tropical setting. The large format and the support in which this work was created stands out: a canvas of rough and exotic, thick textures, "in serge", to which the vibrant colors and the great yellowish sunset sky have been added. The finish of the pictorial work is on canvas with a very fine stucco relief, which makes the figures and details take on a low relief effect.
