Provenance: Gift from the artist, from his studio in Saint-Raphaël. 

A beautiful work by the Corsican painter, Tony Cardella, depicting a view of the Old Tower in Saint-Tropez, in the Var region, taken from the Pointe. The artist chose to frame the view of the Old Tower from the Pointe under a footbridge. 
The sea and the color of the sky blend together, showcasing the power of the Mediterranean sun. 

Attached to his Corsican roots, Tony Cardella continued to depict landscapes of the Isle of Beauty in his paintings. He later settled in the Var region and devoted himself to painting the small villages of the Var hinterland and the marinas of the Mediterranean. 
In 1941, the artist completed admirable paintings for the interior of the Franciscan Church in L'Île-Rousse, restoring to this place of worship its original function of contemplation and prayer. 
He participated in numerous exhibitions both in mainland France and in Corsica, where his talent was recognized and praised by critics. 

Dimensions: 45.5 x 60.5 cm unframed and 55 x 71.5 cm with its original wooden frame.
