Marly 19th Century...large & Bright Impressionist Painting...lively View Of Martigues

Large & luminous impressionist painting from the end of the 19th century or the beginning of 1900 which represents a lively view of the small port of Martigues in the South of France, with its fishing boats on the beach... The work is signed lower left "Marly" / detail cliché: unless I am mistaken, this is a name which does not designate any artist in particular, which may seem surprising in view of its beautiful quality which strongly recalls the great painters of the Provençal School... see for example on the web a certain "view of Martigues" made by the painter Charles Malfroy (1862-1918) which allows us to gauge the beautiful artistic qualities of the work offered here... note: the beauty and the luminosity of this painting suggest the presence of an excellent artist and it would be necessary to carry out in-depth investigations to try to identify it more precisely: we know for example that certain great painters sometimes used pseudonyms, which could constitute a start of a track / notice to research enthusiasts ...
