Description

The main point of the painting is the same as many paintings of Konstantinos Volanakis . This is why the most common adjective that follows him is as the sea painter. In the first level are shown two boats with fishermen in action and in the background are distinguished small and large boats. The sea is calm and color tonnes become more "sweet" as we move to the second level. Characteristic of the personal painting of Volanakis is the red sail which is shown in the right side: most commonly the painter puts a red «sign» ih his paintings which often takes the form of buoys. At the bottom right of the paintings we can see the signature of the artist.
