(Lyon, 1812 - Lyon, 1885)
The Port of Banyuls
Oil on paper mounted on cardboard

Provenance:
- B.R. Collection, Lyon
Ponthus-Cinier belongs to what could be defined as the third (and, so to speak, last) generation of neoclassical or historical landscape artists, born in the 1810s and 1820s, such as Félix Lanoüe, Achille Bénouville, Paul Flandrin, Eugène Ferdinand Buttura, and Alfred de Curzon. More specifically, he is considered the leading and most popular representative of the Lyon School of landscape artists around the mid-19th century.
With a generous, honest personality, and pleasant company, Ponthus-Cinier came from a family of merchants on his mother's side and magistrates on his father's. Destined for commerce by his parents, he preferred the artistic path, and after enrolling at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon in 1829 and training in Paris with Paul Delaroche, he exhibited his first works at the Lyon Salon of 1839, before participating in the Paris Salon in 1841.
That same year, he received the second Prix de Rome for historical landscapes (won by Buttura in 1837, and Bénouville in 1845), beaten by the Versailles artist Lanoüe. To perfect his skills, Ponthus-Cinier then decided to travel to Italy, alone and at his own expense, for a single stay between 1842 and 1844; He discovered the Ligurian coast, Tuscany, Naples, and of course Rome and its surroundings, and executed a considerable number of studies (painted sketches or pen and ink sketches) which he used to compose views of Italy throughout his career.
Ponthus-Cinier's main qualities probably lie in "the art of illuminating a canvas," as A. Jouve wrote in the 19th century, and in his sense of perspective, which are sometimes truly extraordinary; however, he seems, most of the time, a little less brilliant in his depictions of figures and in his rendering of details.
Our painting shows a calm view of the small port of Banyuls around 1850, before its massive urbanization. On the beach, beached fishing boats await departure, their sails furled. A few fishermen bustle about, while a solitary sail splits the horizon. In the background, the village and its cliffs are bathed in the soft morning light.
