Louis Pastour (1876-1948), Fishermen In The Bay Of Cannes

Superb oil on panel signed Louis Pastour (1876-1948). Large format, which is quite rare (they are often small), indicated on the back as "great summer calm, July," depicting fishermen in the Bay of Cannes, bathed in soft, vibrant light. This work captivates with its luminous palette and colorful touches, characteristic of early 20th-century painting, where the reflections on the water and the silhouettes of the boats are treated with great pictorial freedom. The composition, both refined and lively, accurately captures the Mediterranean atmosphere of the French Riviera. A renowned painter, Louis Pastour belongs to the tradition of artists who knew how to capture the light of the South and scenes of maritime life. Technique: oil on panel, signed lower left. Subject: Fishermen in the Bay of Cannes. Dimensions: 33cm x 55cm. Dimensions: 49 x 70 cm with frame.
