Description: | Signed: yes Description: Boudin painted the port of Portrieux many times and his treatment is characteristic of his subject matter. Beneath high, luminous grey skies, ships lie at low tide in the left foreground. Masts and rigging create a tracery against the light. The vessels seem to be coastal trade types: the dark hulled ship near the viewer is a brigantine, with a mix of schooners and brigantines inboard of her. Further to seaward is a brig, afloat alongside the quay. To the right foreground is a man with cart and horses. This is identical to Portrieux, Le Port. Marée Basse described in Schmit's Catalogue Raisonné. | Subjects: | place (Portrieux) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Boudin, Eugène Louis (French painter, 1824-1898) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8649... | Go to resource |
