Description: | Signed: yes Description: Noël was a keen painter of marines and painted all along the Breton and Normandy coasts. In this dramatic scene a fishing village is clustered near the foreshore around its church. Storm clouds are gathering above and rough waves crash on the beach below. While fishermen in the background pull their boats ashore to safety, in the foreground men are struggling against the waves to push a boat out to sea. In the distance another boat heads out toward the horizon where two small brushstrokes suggest the bow of a sinking ship jutting out of the water. | Subjects: | landscape; marine; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Noël, Jules Achille (French painter, 1815-1881) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8978... | Go to resource |
