EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor on paper, created by the renowned Austrian artist Gottfried Seelos in 1886, captures a breathtaking scene of the Prestenizza beacon on the island of Cherso, located in the strait between Istria and the northeast coast of Cres, Croatia. The image showcases the Lighthouse near Porozina, which still stands today, guiding sailors through the Mediterranean Sea. The rocky coastline and crystal-clear waters are dotted with sailboats and a ferry line steamboat, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. Seelos, a master of realism, expertly depicts the natural beauty and historic significance of this location. The romantic era influence is evident in the vibrant colors and intricate details, which transport us back in time to the 19th century. The painting is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Austria and Croatia, and a reminder of the importance of maritime transportation in the Mediterranean region during this period. This artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or the Mediterranean way of life. It is currently on display at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria, and is a popular attraction for visitors from around the world. The Prestenizza beacon scene by Seelos is a beautiful and captivating representation of a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the natural wonders and historical significance of this unique location.
