The Gunboat “the Crocodile”, End Of The 19th Century.
Artist: Ch. Floch
The gunboat “Le Crocodile” crossing Pointe Saint Mathieu in heavy weather. It was on this boat that engineer Louis Bertin installed and tested his anti-roll keel process. Perhaps this is why the painter represents the boat in bad weather. Under a leaden sky it sails in strong swells, it dives and rolls in heavy seas, the men are on deck, in full action, to carry out the maneuvers. A brighter patch of sky announces the imminent end of the downpour. Gouache on paper dated 1883. Patinated oak frame bordered by a black lacquered molding. Signed lower right, Ch. Floch. Frame dimensions: length 94 cm, height 71 cm. View dimensions: length 65.5 cm, height 43.5 cm.
