Summary:
Ugo Manaresi, 19th century oil on canvas depicting a maritime scene with sailing vessels at anchor near a rocky coastline. Signed U. Manaresi lower right and dated '75

His artistic training was mainly as a self-taught artist only studying briefly at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze. It was probably his father, a restorer and copier, who taught him.In Leghorn he had an atelier at Antignano. He would set out from there in a small boat and loved to study the views of the port and the coastline as inspiration from real life. His paintings were mainly of boats and sailing boats, storms at sea and shipwrecks. The hallmark of his work is his carefully thought out compositions.
