late 19th century
About the Item
Gustave de Breanski, brother of artist Alfred de Breanski, is renowned for his oil paintings on canvas of 19th century British maritime scenes with choppy waters, moody skies, boats and harbors. 'Coming into Harbour' shows all three of his best technical skills. The churned waters by the pier contrast with the white cliffs behind the pier. The boat's red sail and the red flag on the mast over the pier provide color and drama to the scene. In the distance are calmer, bluer waters and the distant outlines of sailboats out at sea. There is clouded white light in the center of the skies, and on the white crests of water between the sailboat and pier, drawing focus to the center of the painting.
Presented in its likely original gilt frame, in very good overall condition. The back of the frame shows appropriate age and the signature (lower left) is large and visible, and as it should be.
This work is a good size, 38" by 29" overall and 29" by 19" canvas sight.
There are numerous specks of color; brown, tan, grey, that could be intentional in the mixed overcast skies, when viewed hung on the wall. The painting is overall presented in clean condition, suggesting the marks and smudges intensify the sky. Stretcher marks are visible on close inspection, and less so when hung and viewed as it should be.
Beautiful frame, likely re-gilded in the past, is in very good condition, with slight wear consistent with age.

Gustave de Breanski
Gustave de Breanski’s name is synonymous with attractive landscapes and coastal scenes. De Breanski was a prolific painter who described himself as a landscape artist, but the majority of his work is made up of seascapes and inshore scenes. All seven of his Royal Academy exhibits between 1878–87 consisted primarily of marine views. Gustave’s style is much broader and more impressionistic than that of his brother. His paintings, often featuring fishing boats and other working craft, convey a maritime realism that is both distinctive and widely appealing. His proficiency with colors is excellent, and his composition shows an adeptness at both balance and perspective. A strong supporter of the Suffolk Street Galleries, the artist exhibited some 51 canvases there throughout his career. Today, paintings by Gustave de Breanski are gaining in popularity among discerning collectors and are considered quite reasonably priced in the fine art market.
