More about this artwork
Nestled within our collection is an enchanting depiction of serene harbor life, crafted by the skilled hands of Henri Lebasque. The painting titled "Villefranche-Sur-Mer, Fenêtre Ouverte Sur Le Port" (1926) captures a picturesque view from an open window overlooking the bustling port of Villefranche-sur-Mer, a charming coastal town along the French Riviera.Lebasque, known for his vibrant and light-infused scenes, employs a palette of soft blues, gentle yellows, and subtle purples to convey the tranquil atmosphere of the Mediterranean. From the foreground, the viewer is invited to look through a window adorned with elegant floral designs, leading the eye out toward the calm blue waters where sailboats lazily drift by. The distant shoreline is lined with sunlit buildings that seem to glow under the soft hues of dawn or dusk, beneath a mountainous backdrop that adds a touch of majestic solitude to the scene.This intimate perspective not only showcases Lebasque's mastery of color and light but also evokes a sense of peaceful solitude, as if one is quietly observing a day in the life of the quaint town from a personal vantage point.
