Mediterranean Harbor Fishing Boats Post Impressionist Coastal Seascape Artist: Rafael Duran Benet (1931–2015) Title: Mediterranean Fishing Harbor Medium: Oil on board Dimensions: He...

This work by Lucien Adrion is a wonderful representation of his Post-Impressionist works at the seashore by the French Riviera. Using a bright palette of colors, Adrion executes this piece with much attention to detail with many boats situated along the marina. There are palm trees and buildings placed in the distance, as we can feel the warmth of the sun contrasted with the cool breeze of the water. The boats are wonderfully executed by the artist in a very whimsical way that leaves us with an essence of enjoyment from that sunny day at the marina. As this tourist destination was a favorite of the artist to find inspiration and highly attractive subjects and compositions to represent, we can find several of his works like this subject and others. The piece is signed by the artist lower left and it comes housed in a French giltwood frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 19 x 23.5 inches Frame measures 27 x 32 inches Lucien Adrion was born May 25, 1889 in Strasbourg, France. He was a French Post-Impressionist painter, draftsman, and printmaker known for his depictions of the French countryside and beaches, as well as Parisian life including landscape, still life, figure, and landmarks paintings. He began his initial studies in Strasbourg as a technical draughtsman. In 1907, at the age of 18, he left his hometown Strasbourg and traveled to Paris, where he found employment in a large drafting company to work as a fashion illustrator. Adrion changed his mind upon arrival and rather than working for a large company, he decided to peruse his artistic career by traveling to London, Munich, and Frankfurt. As the World War broke out he had to go to Berlin, where he studied as an engraver with Hermann Struck, who was also the teacher of Marc Chagall. He remained in Berlin until the war ended and after the demobilization, Lucien would study engraving under Franz Ritter von Struck...

A tranquil oil painting featuring an early evening sunset with people strolling on the main beach in Carmel in front of a majestic sky from Willard Dixon, who is one of the finest American contemporary realist painters today. Dixon has painted coastal landscapes for 35 years, capturing the undeniable beauty of the West with its grand and humble spirit. The painting, with its atmospheric light and calm color palette in natural sky blue and setting sun warm red to purple, is contemporary and serene. The colors are reminiscent of Rothko as they shift in natural bands. Looking at this painting is like looking through a window to a lovely moment as the close of a day. Dixon’s work can be found in numerous distinctive private and public collections, as well as the San Francisco Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and his work is collected Internationally. Artist signed and dated. A classic Dixon that will sure to bring those who view it a life time of pleasure. Carmel Beach, 18 x 53 inches.

Léon Frédéric (1856-1940) The Dunes and the Sea, signed at the lower right Oil on canvas transfered on woodpanel 30 x 40 cm Framed : 42 x 53 cm in good condition, Léon Frédéric always presented his oil landscapes on canvas transferred onto mahogany panels like this one. This seascape and dunes by Léon Frédéric is part of a series of landscapes inspired by the shores of Heyst, near the Belgian coastal resort of Knokke. Although he found much inspiration in the rolling landscapes of the Ardennes, particularly in the area of Nafraiture, at the other end of the country, the North Sea offered him a completely different motif and an opportunity to explore another source of inspiration. His style may seem lighter in some ways, but the same energy is evident in the way he depicts the vegetation in the foreground, for example, with the dunes reminiscent of the hills and valleys he loved. Similarly, his approach to composition is characteristic of his art, with a very high horizon line that seems to raise the viewer's gaze. Finally, this work exudes a great serenity that invites contemplation. Léon Frédéric was born on 26 August 1856 in Brussels and died on 25 January 1940 in Schaerbeek. The son of a prosperous jeweller, Léon Frédéric was apprenticed to the painter-decorator Charle-Albert in 1871, and attended evening classes at the Brussels Academy. In 1874, he worked in the private studio of Jean-François Portaels. The following year, he joined forces with a group of young painters to rent a studio where they could study live models. From 1876 to 1878, he prepared for the Prix de Rome, which he failed, but his father offered him a year's travel to Italy. From 1878 to 1879, he made his debut with the artistic group l'Essor, which brought together proponents of realism. In 1883, he was hailed as a promising painter with his painting Les Marchands de craie, a triptych combining modernism with the genius of the primitive masters, and in the 1890s he became one of the most popular painters in Belgium, cited alongside Constantin Meunier and Eugène Laermans. On 24 April 1929, King Albert I awarded Léon Frédéric - at the same time as James Ensor - the title of Baron. In 1882, he discovered the work of the French naturalist painter Jules Bastien Lepage...

Cadaques Harbor Church Catalonia Mediterranean Fishing Boat Oil Painting Spanish Coastal Scene Artist: Juan Pardo Forteza Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 33 × 41 cm (13 × 16.1 in) Signature: Signed lower right Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint surface with visible original brushwork Origin: Spain Period: Mid-20th century Atmospheric Mediterranean harbor scene depicting the coastal village of Cadaqués with the Church of Santa Maria rising above the historic waterfront. A traditional Catalan fishing boat placed in the foreground structures the composition and anchors the viewer within the shoreline space, while the stepped white architecture of the old town creates one of the most recognizable silhouettes of the Costa Brava. Executed with loose impressionist brushwork and a restrained palette of greys, warm ochres and soft pink tonal transitions, the painting captures the distinctive northern Mediterranean light associated with Catalan coastal painting of the twentieth century. Views of Cadaqués remain among the most desirable subjects within Spanish coastal landscape painting due to their strong connection with the artistic history of the region and their immediate architectural identity. Particularly suitable for collectors of Mediterranean harbor painting and Spanish modern decorative landscapes. The painting belongs to the Catalan coastal landscape tradition associated with artists such as Joaquim Mir and Eliseu Meifrèn. Its subject matter also connects directly with the artistic environment of Salvador Dalí, whose long association with Cadaqués helped establish the village as one of the most iconic painterly locations of the Mediterranean. Juan Pardo Forteza was a Spanish painter active during the second half of the twentieth century, known for Mediterranean coastal landscapes and harbor scenes of Catalonia and the Balearic environment. His work focuses primarily on traditional fishing boats, historic waterfront architecture and luminous shoreline compositions executed with impressionist brushwork and strong atmospheric sensitivity. Paintings depicting recognizable Mediterranean villages such as Cadaqués represent one of the most characteristic themes of his production and remain especially appreciated in decorative and collector-oriented markets.

European Fishing Harbor with Sailboats, Coastal Marina Seascape Oil Painting Artist: Rafael Duran Benet (1931-2015) Title: European Fishing Harbor Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 54 × 65 cm (21.3 × 25.6 in) Frame: Unframed Signature: Hand signed lower right Date: c.1990 Condition: Good vintage condition, consistent with age. DESCRIPTION This atmospheric harbor scene captures the timeless beauty of a quiet European fishing port, where traditional sailboats rest peacefully on calm reflective waters beneath soft Mediterranean light. Rafael Duran Benet demonstrates his remarkable command of color harmony and luminous atmosphere, balancing architectural forms, elegant masts and shimmering reflections with confident, expressive brushwork. The composition invites the viewer into a tranquil maritime setting where the reflections become as important as the boats themselves. The subtle palette of blues, greens and warm earth tones creates depth while preserving an exceptional sense of serenity and natural light. An excellent example of late twentieth-century Catalan landscape painting, this work will appeal to collectors of Mediterranean art, coastal scenes, nautical paintings and refined European postwar landscapes. Its balanced composition and sophisticated chromatic treatment make it equally suitable for traditional and contemporary interiors.

Children Playing On The Beach by Les Parsons (British b. 1945) * see below signed oil on canvas, framed in swept gilt frame. framed: 27 x 23 inches canvas: 20 x 16 inches provenance: private collection, England condition: This painting is in excellent condition, with vivid colors and sharp details that show no signs of fading. The canvas is pristine, free from any damage or restoration work. The ornate frame is also in very good condition, with only minor wear consistent with age, adding to its character and authenticity. This piece is ready to be displayed and enjoyed, offering a touch of nostalgia and natural beauty to any space. Les Parson has been a popular British Artist with a loyal following for nearly forty years. Despite having a personal interest in art, Parson never received any formal training. Born in Lancashire in 1945, he worked in London as a Computer Engineer until 1974. He then moved to Cornwall working as an installer of Radar, Sonar and Ship to Shore radio on small fishing boats. In a chance meeting with local gallery owners in 1978, Parson was encouraged to expand his artistic skills and transform his hobby into a career. He therefore put aside his pencil sketching and watercolour paintings in lieu of the more permanent medium of oil on canvas and become a flourishing full-time artist. As a professional artist, Les Parson has become renowned for his nostalgic paintings of rural landscapes featuring children at play. His work is internationally recognised, with many of his paintings published as prints. The paintings of Les Parson remain highly-sought after by both domestic and international collectors.
