Condition
Work rilined.
From a first hand inspection there are three small losses between the boats and the sea. An horizontal line, probably due to a fold, is visible in the middle of the composition. This line can be restored removing the lining.
The ultra violet light reveals fluorescent varnish homogeneously spread over the surface and some retouches over the yellow tent (cm 8x4) and over the objects in the shadow under the tent (the largest cm 5x4). Those retouches are visible also at first hand inspection because a little reddish.
In the sky, over the tent's tip, there is another retouch (cm 6x4) more or less bright probably because of the presence of original pigment underneath.
It is suggested a careful cleansing to remove all the dust.
The overall condition as to the state of preservation is quite good.

Catalogue Note
"Per Ugo Manaresi, con la sua Grande marina del 1880, il mare non è ancora l'ambiente della contemplazione totalizzante o della separazione idillica dal mondo, bensì un semplice pretesto ottico, dove la stessa precisione dei particolari descrittivi finisce per tenere a distanza l'osservatore, invitandolo invece che al coinvolgimento a un'attività di scrutinio analitico ed esterno" (G. Bruno, E. Dei, Geometrie della luce: il paesaggio toscano nella pittura italiana tra otto e novecento, Serravezza 2001, pag. 38).
