Framed Impressionist Mediterranean Coastal Landscape Oil Painting

This is a large-scale landscape oil painting, likely mid-twentieth century, depicting a vibrant Mediterranean coastal scene, possibly Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast. The composition features a foreground terrace with classic stone balustrades and terra cotta potted plants, leading the eye toward a bustling harbor and a towering, rugged mountain range in the background. The color palette is dominated by cerulean blues in the water and sky, accented by earthy ochres, greens, and floral pinks. The Mediterranean light is captured through light, expressive brushwork characteristic of late Impressionist influence. The work is housed in a substantial wooden frame with a wide, neutral-toned linen liner and a thin gold-toned inner fillet. The painting appears to be in fair condition, though there are visible undulations in the canvas surface suggesting it may need re-stretching. Some surface grime and slight yellowing of the varnish are evident, which is typical for its age. While a signature is not clearly legible in the provided lighting, the confident brushwork suggests a skilled professional or semi-professional hand from the mid-20th century decorator art tradition. The sheer scale of the piece makes it a significant interior focal point, representative of the mid-century era's fascination with European travel and idyllic coastal scenery.
