Italian painter Japelli in 18th Century Spain
Maria B
I apologise for posting this message in English.
I am writing for information on a reproduction I own.
THE REPRODUCTION:
It is entitled:
Luigi Japelli
1742
Nosita
Palacio Real de Aranjuex, Madrid
It is embossed with the stamp "Casa Real Patrimonie Nacional"
On left hand side somewhat obscured by the frame,it has the number 830
on it - I think.
On the right it has more writing, some numbers, including - 1976 and
"Litho in SPain".
The size of the image is 25cm x 34 cm.[It has a beautiful mount which
adds to width of framed item]
The image is two thirds sky and one third sea. Two islands, one large
island with cliffs and buildings (large) at sea level and the other
quite small at left.
The sea surrounding is quite busy, with two large tw0-masted sailing
ships at left and many smaller ones around the island. There are
smaller unmasted boats with people shown too at right of image.
It is a coloured reproduction.
It would appear to be a lithographic reproduction of a painting
(watercolour or fresco) in the Royal Palace at Aranjuez. I can
discover little about it or the artist, but that he as an Italian who
worked at the court of the Bourbon King, Carlos IV.
Where is Nosita?
Where in the royal palace at Aranjuez is it hanging? Or is it a
fresco?
Can anyone help me?
