Mediterranean Port Scene Oil Painting by Victor Ferreri - 13¾" x 19"

This vibrant oil painting on hardwood by Victor Ferreri, likely created in the 1960s, depicts a sunlit Mediterranean port town with fishing boats moored along the quayside and a backdrop of whitewashed buildings crowned by distinctive bell towers reminiscent of muezzin towers. The scene is likely inspired by a North African port, suggested by the architecture as well as the stylized silhouettes clad in white that animate the quayside. The artist employs a thick impasto technique, layering the paint in expressive strokes that capture the shimmering interplay of light and shadow across the water and architecture. The painting is set in a narrow, understated wooden frame that draws focus to its richly textured surface.

 Ferreri’s style reflects the vitality of post-impressionist and modern Mediterranean school influences, where the emphasis was placed on capturing atmosphere and the sensory experience of place rather than precise detail. His harbor views celebrate the rhythms of daily life, from the working fishing vessels to the clustered waterfront buildings, evoking a timeless coastal charm.

Capturing the radiant charm of the Mediterranean lifestyle, this warm and vibrant painting fills a room with light and character. Its rich tones and dynamic brushwork make it a striking addition to coastal or sunlit interiors. Two other works by Ferreri are also available (here and here), making it possible to create a cohesive and visually engaging group display.
