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.
