Title: Brittany Watercolor of Notre-Dame de la Joie in Saint-Guénolé in Penmarch
by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017)
Signed: Yes
Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper
Size: 15 x 11.25 (height x width)
Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France
Description:
This delicate watercolor captures the historic Notre-Dame de la Joie chapel in Saint-Guénolé, Penmarch, Brittany, a 16th-century maritime sanctuary overlooking the Atlantic. The scene is brought to life with two traditional Breton figures, a young woman in a blue embroidered dress with a lace coiffe and a boy in dark sailor’s attire, resting near the stone calvary monument—a symbol of Brittany’s deep spiritual heritage.
Key features include:
Notre-Dame de la Joie: A historic chapel in Saint-Guénolé, built to protect sailors and fishermen, known for its windswept coastal setting and commanding presence above the sea.
Breton Folk Tradition: The two figures dressed in traditional regional attire add a charming human element, emphasizing Brittany’s strong cultural identity and connection to the sea.
Stone Calvary & Chapel Architecture: The weathered stonework, carved religious statues, and dramatic gothic elements create a sense of history and reverence.
Maritime Atmosphere: The distant view of the sea with sailing boats in the background subtly connects the chapel’s protective role over local fishermen.
Masterful Detailing: The light, shadow, and textural details in the clothing, architecture, and sky highlight the artist’s keen observational skill and storytelling approach.
This evocative painting captures the soul of Brittany’s maritime traditions, religious heritage, and cultural pride—ideal for collectors of French regional art, coastal landscapes, and historical watercolor paintings.
