About the Item

Title: Marseille Watercolor of Calanques with Fishermen & Limestone Cliffs by Robert Lepine (French, 1929 - 2017) Signed: Yes Medium: Watercolor painting on artists paper Size: 15.25 x 11.25 (height x width) Provenance: From the artists atelier collection, South of France Description: This exquisite watercolor captures the rugged beauty of the Calanques, the dramatic limestone inlets along the Mediterranean coast near Marseille, France. A pair of sailors navigate a small wooden boat through the crystal-clear waters, framed by soaring white cliffs and windswept pines. The interplay of sunlit rock faces, deep blue-green waters, and delicate ink detailing brings the Provençal seascape to life. Key features include: The Calanques of Marseille: A world-famous series of fjord-like coves, renowned for their striking cliffs and turquoise waters. Traditional Provençal Seafaring: The figures aboard the boat evoke the region’s maritime heritage, from local fishermen to historical traders. Dramatic Coastal Landscape: The towering limestone formations, painted with precision and subtle shadowing, add depth and realism. Atmospheric Composition: Fine ink detailing and soft watercolor washes create a balanced blend of movement and tranquility. A stunning tribute to southern France’s most iconic coastal landscapes, this painting is ideal for collectors drawn to seascapes, maritime history, and Mediterranean scenery.
