Tremagli in punta alla Gallinara

"Tremagli in punta alla Gallinara" (Ref. 129) is a large-format canvas (50x70 cm) capturing a moment of authentic maritime skill. At the center of the composition, a fisherman is engaged in the demanding task of hauling in the "tremagli," traditional triple-layered nets. In the background to the left, the tip of Gallinara Island emerges vigorously, a geographical element giving the painting a strong sense of territorial belonging. The palette knife oil application allows Ruggero Ruggieri to sculpt water reflections and the complex weave of wet nets coming aboard, heavy with salt. The work exudes a calm, solemn strength, celebrating the solitary labor of man in harmony with the nature of the Alassio gulf. A piece of Ligurian figurative excellence, perfect for those seeking a textured work that furnishes with deep narrative and high-level technique.
