Georges Hanna Sabbagh (1887-1951) Rocky Coast in Brittany (La Clarté, Perros-Guirec?) Oil on canvas Signed and dated 1933 lower left Dimensions: 60 x 72.5 cm Dimensions with frame: 76 x 90 cm A beautiful and large oil on canvas by Georges Hanna Sabbagh (1887-1951) depicting a rocky Breton coast, probably located at La Clarté, near Perros-Guirec, where the artist regularly stayed and worked. The composition presents a seascape enlivened by a clear and vibrant light. The steep rocks plunge into a sea of deep turquoise tones, while discreet architecture can be glimpsed at the top of the cliff. The brushwork is supple, structured by a generous impasto and a harmonious palette blending ochres, greens, and blues. Sabbagh sensitively captures the unique atmosphere of the Breton coast, a blend of stark mineral strength and luminous softness. The work perfectly illustrates his period around 1933, characterized by a solid, structured, and luminous style of painting. Georges Hanna Sabbagh, a painter of Egyptian origin who became a naturalized French citizen, exhibited at the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Indépendants. He was close to the Parisian artistic circles of the interwar period and developed a sensitive body of work, oscillating between measured modernity and figurative tradition. The understated and elegant molded wooden frame enhances the composition.
