Description: | Signed: yes Description: Born in 1825, Herminie Gudin was the illegitimate daughter of Théodore Gudin, the most prominent marine painter of his time. He was also her tutor and his influence shows in the strong similarities between their works. This small canvas shows a number of boats sitting on a flat-calm sea lit by the glow of sunset. Near the foreground a larger vessel, with a tricolore flying from one of its masts, lowers its sails as figures disembark onto rowing boats and head to shore. In view of the painting's size the delicacy of the brushwork and attention to detail is considerable. | Subjects: | marine; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gudin, Herminie (French painter, active ca. 1849-1853) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8974... | Go to resource |
