Description: | Signed: yes Description: This attractive and well executed landscape which has a fresh quality to the brushwork and rendering of light, perhaps owing to Appian's training with Corot and Daubigny. In the foreground, a man is on a river or inlet in a rowing boat with fishing baskets; another man is in a boat in the middle distance. To the left, there is an expanse of water with a few sea birds; to the right, the shoreline is scattered with twigs, stones, logs. Further along the shore, a couple of boats rest up. To the right middle-distance, there is a village of whitewashed houses with terracotta roofs. There is a suggestion of countryside and hills in the far distance. | Subjects: | place (Martigues Marsailles); landscape; marine; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Appian, Adolphe (French painter and printmaker, 1818-1898) Æ French School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8349... | Go to resource |
