About the Item
Work on canvas
Dimensions with frame 65.5 x 88.5 x 3 cm
This artistic work reveals a panoramic view of a port city, captured with an impressive mastery of the pictorial technique. The canvas is imbued with a vibrant atmosphere that testifies to the effervescence of the city and its port. In the foreground, buildings seem to stretch out chaotically yet harmoniously, adding an almost abstract touch to the composition. The artist has used quick, bold brushstrokes, creating a rich, dynamic texture that brings each structure to life. The precision of the architectural details contrasts with the freer style employed for natural elements, such as trees and vegetation. The waters of the harbor occupy the visual center of the canvas, with moored ships adding a dimension of movement and activity. The effect of light on the water is subtly rendered, reinforcing the depth and perspective of the landscape. Light reflections on the waves captivate the eye, transporting the viewer into the middle of a maritime scene. In the background, hills rise gently, their crest line marking the end of the city and announcing the horizon. The silvery-blue sky is crossed by scattered clouds that seem to dance with the wind, adding a sense of lightness and fluidity to the whole work. This painting is not just a representation of an urban landscape; it's an invitation to plunge into the soul of a place through the eyes of the artist.
The juxtaposition of techniques and attention to detail give this work an undeniable singularity. It's a celebration of urban and maritime life, where every element found on the canvas tells a story and takes the viewer on a fascinating visual journey.

"Late Sun" - Carmel by the Sea California Original Oil French Impressionism
Thick impasto and textured oil on linen circa 1962 by California artist Harry B. Lachman (American, 1886 - 1975). Besides being an American Impressionist, Harry was a honored French Impressionism artist as well. Lovely scene of Carmel by the Sea California of cottages and trees on a quiet lane.
Some minor bowing of the canvas due to age and the heavy paints he used.

A onetime magazine illustrator, Harry Lachman, born in LaSalle, Indiana June 29, 1886, became one of the leading European Post-Impressionist painters in the teens and twenties. By his late twenties, Lachman had established himself as an artist both in America and Europe. He exhibited in America at the National Academy of Design, New York, as well as the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
Early on in his career Lachman traveled to Europe to paint and eventually lived at various times in France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. In Europe, the painter's works were accepted at the annual Parisian Salons.
Lachman worked as a set designer with the equally artistically-inclined film maker Rex Ingram...
