Beautiful work by one of the masters of Provençal painting, François Nardi, which represents a view of the harbor of Toulon taken at sunset. In the foreground, we can see the waves on the water which seems to be carried by the mistral.
The artist has a total mastery of the play of light which perfectly transcribes the light of the end of the day in the harbor of Toulon.
