Description: | Signed: yes Description: Emile Louis Vernier (1829-1887) was a successful painter and etcher. He worked in Paris, and exhibited many paintings at the Salon from 1857. He specialised in scenes of the rustic countryside and lives of fishermen, as well as painting townscapes. This painting is typical of his marine paintings set around Normandy and Brittany showing the departure of the fishing fleet from the Breton port of Douarnenez. As early as 1836, critics suggested that painters should draw inspiration from this rural and picturesque region. By the 1870s, artists had established international colonies in Brittany, including in Douarnenez. | Subjects: | place (Douarnenez); marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Vernier, Emile Louis (French painter, 1829-1887) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8857... | Go to resource |
