"Painting "the Wild Coast Of Belle-île-en-mer", 19th-century French School"
This striking oil painting on wood captures the dramatic power of the Breton coastline, inspired by the rugged landscapes of Belle-Île-en-Mer. Steep cliffs frame a turbulent sea, where waves crash against the shore beneath a heavy sky that intensifies the scene. The work, signed in the lower left corner in a now illegible hand, reflects a Romantic sensibility and a naturalistic eye characteristic of the late 19th century. The panel is enhanced by a richly decorated giltwood frame, carved and molded with foliate motifs, typical of the period's ornate framing. This original frame enhances the composition and underscores the museum-quality nature of the piece. An evocative painting, ideal for lovers of seascapes, Romantic painting, or Breton heritage. ********Period: Late 19th Century Excellent condition Shipping available upon request in France and internationally Dimensions: Width: 46 cm Height: 38 cm Depth: 7 cm Reference: 933 B
